The film, which is directed by Philip Koch, revolves around a couple who find their apartment building suddenly enclosed by a mysterious brick wall, forcing them to team up with their neighbours to find a way out. The trailer shows a couple opening the door of their apartment to see that a black wall has been erected in its place. They try to break it but to no avail.

The two of them also find a similar black wall surrounding the window, and find a way to see that it is not just them, but there are other neighbours from the apartment who are trapped as well. As they slowly decode what the secret behind the wall is and whether there is any way they can break out, tensions and chaos arise. Will they all make it out together?

What the actors said about the film

Meanwhile, Fee added, “Fundamentally, I think viewers can identify with this story of being locked up in a variety of ways. Specifically, if they're claustrophobic and afraid of getting stuck in an elevator, for example. But also subconsciously—transferring it to the crazy times all over the world.”
