Synopsis

In an enclosed space eleven nameless strangers, nine Africans and two Chinese, are on a journey into the unknown. In transition from one world to another under challenging circumstances, they are forced to confront each other’s prejudices in order to establish a temporary and functioning society. The film reflects the world in microcosm, a world in which everything ultimately comes down to survival.
