Overview
Forty-year-old Andreas arrives in a strange city with no memory of how he got there. He is presented with a job, an apartment - even a wife. But before long, Andreas notices that something is wrong. Andreas makes an attempt to escape the city, but he discovers there's no way out. Andreas meets Hugo, who has found a crack in a wall in his cellar. Beautiful music streams out from the crack. Maybe it leads to "the other side"? A new plan for escape is hatched.

This exceptional dystopian production is a masterclass in symbolic storytelling. Its target is the modern archetype: the nine-to-five employee whose company HR mandates camaraderie, whose home is a catalog of IKEA furniture, and whose leisure is systematically scheduled. The film presents a world utterly sanitized of all profound emotion and flavor, a reality so sterile that the main character doesn't even engage with the audience's inherent questions of origin and purpose. It is an essential viewing experience and a brilliantly executed dystopia.
