Young Deon's father is betrayed by his business partner. 20 years later, a Deon obsessed with revenge, finds himself in a complicated relationship. Like life, 3rd Degree is part drama, part thriller, part comedy and ablaze with surprises.

Three-screen film. On the first screen, close-ups of an agitated match in front of a young woman's fearful face. On the soundtrack: matches, warnings of a rattlesnake, the phrase: "Listen, I will not speak." The ribbon runs at variable speeds, sometimes blurring, sometimes slowing down, to stop, on which the image / celluloid begins to fry and to burn, then leaves, runs, stops again, leaves again ... On the second screen we see the first rephotographed; here the "burns" are both fixed or new (a burn in the second degree). On the third screen, we see the second screen rephotographed. The subject of the film is the fragility of the film, as medium, as well as the vulnerability of man. Both the film and the figure resist threats / intimidation / mutilations.

"Degree Maila" unfolds as a captivating comic tale that delves into the life of a man on a quest to find his place in society while longing for love and recognition. Amidst a whirlwind of trials and errors, he revolts with the societal expectations and surrenders to personal aspirations that define his journey.
