Plot synopsis
On an ordinary summer morning, five people who don't know each other, three men and two women, come out of their respective apartments and get into the elevator. The doors close behind the last one and the elevator starts to go down. A minute passes, another, then an hour, and the elevator does not stop, giving the impression of an endless journey. Panic takes over and the cabin, a veritable closed room, is out of control. What can be the state of mind of the passengers in such a situation? Doubts creep into them, terror, despair. The elevator finally stops…
