Six ordinary people wake up in a maze of interlocking cubes, with no recollection of how they arrived there and with no apparent route out. Further more; the cubes contain some deadly traps. With no food or water they soon realise that each of them possesses unique skills that will help them unlock the doors that will lead them through the cube. Can they overcome personal conflict to survive? A hit at several film festivals. Lighting, set and story combine to create a tense, claustrophobic thriller.
