Short description
A mysterious place, an indescribable prison, a deep hole. An unknown number of levels. Two inmates living on each level. A descending platform containing food for all of them. An inhuman fight for survival, but also an opportunity for solidarity.
What's left behind the scenes
- In most buildings, floor numbers go from bottom to top, but here the first level of the prison is located at the very top. This is numbering, like the circles of hell in Dante Alighieri's work. The inhabitants of the third circle in Dante, where gluttons are held, are punished for greed; in this prison, the inhabitants of the upper levels feast at the expense of the others.
- The floors are numbered from top to bottom, like the circles of hell in Dante Alighieri's Inferno. The inhabitants of the upper levels feast at the expense of the others.
- The film was shot in chronological order because Ivan Massague, the performer of the main role, needed to lose 12 kg over a six-week period in order to demonstrate the deterioration of his overall condition and the exhaustion of the body.
- The film mentions 333 levels. In numerology, this number symbolizes answered prayers or a hint from a guardian angel.
