This was a simple film to produce: one set and 6 main actors. However, the concepts put forth are significant and worthy of our consideration. The plot involves 5 people placed into a dungeon with water but no food. The perpetrator and his motivation is initially unknown, but he is gradually revealed in various effective ways. The viewer is asked to observe these people as days pass. It is initially unclear why these particular people are brought together, but the reasons are also revealed during the course of the film.
The question asked is: what would we be willing to do to survive? I enjoyed the performances of these actors and found their characterizations to be interesting and complex. The filmmaker is very skilled in homing in on the facial expressions and behaviors of the actors. I felt pulled into the situation, continuously trying to guess which character would do what to whom.
I highly recommend this film to anyone who craves food for thought.
