What is the English language plot outline for Slow Attack (1980)?

movie

Nik, a released prisoner who started writing in prison, wants to leave his past behind, but refuses to contact his former girlfriend and her family. Under the name of his jail buddy Henry, he moves in with his pen pal--who has never seen him--and is always watched suspiciously by their roommate. Nik seeks contact with the literary culture, although he feels disgusted by the pompous fuss of this society. He is not without talent and works on a novel in which he minutely describes the abduction of an industrialist. Henry gets shot at the prison breakout and visits Nik to get help from him. He likes his novel plot and wants to put it into action.
