Presents
Papillon
Plot:
A semi-fictional account of Henri Charri re's time in the penal system in
French Guyana - some of it spent on infamous Devil's Island - is presented. It's
the early 1930s. Charri re - nicknamed Papillon because of his butterfly tattoo
- and Louis Dega are two among many who have been convicted in the French
judicial system, they now being transferred to French Guyana where they will
serve their time, never to return to France even if they are ever released. A
safe-cracker by criminal profession, Papillon is serving a life sentence for
murdering a pimp, a crime for which he adamantly states he was framed. Dega is a
wealthy counterfeiter, who expects his well-to-do wife eventually to get him
released. On Papillon's initiative, Papillon and Dega enter into a business
arrangement: Papillon will provide protection for Dega, while Dega will finance
Papillon's escape attempt. As Papillon and Degas' time together lasts longer
than either expects, their burgeoning friendship ends up being an important
factor altering their original plans, needed as they work with and against
others who are trying to achieve their own goals, sometime conflicting with
Papillon and Dega's.
