Feature Film

Synopsis

There is a state of emergency. A metropolitan courtyard is closed off. Due to an unexplained incident, the police seal off all access to the courtyard. The residents are unsettled. Rumors gradually fuel fears. Suspicion and suspicions spread, and prejudices divide the neighborhood. The house community resembles a microcosm of society. Relationships are based on the pursuit of power and profit. And perhaps the real danger comes not from the outside, as assumed, but from within...
