Waking up whilst tied in a garage..that’s what happens to ELENA one day. The heat, the dust, the deafening silence, cracked by a small whisper that we can hear in this narrow space. A gas is pouring into the space little by little, a gas that will kill HER in the next 75 minutes if she fails to make the right choice, which will free her from this little hell. A hell deserved, according to the voice that she listens to through her mobile, which dictates how that blond girl that pleeds to to save her daughters’ life, has not always been the picture of perfection she thinks to be. She is violently attached to life, and is gasping for air, searching for the exit. She has been granted a chance, but will she be able to sacrifice the life of a kid for her own salvation? Claustrophobic thriller built with the same tools that a “genre” can offer to the author, but revisited with that touch that only an indie film can reveal.
