‘We are far more united and have far more in common thanthat which divides us.’
Jo Cox
Four people find themselves trapped in a Kafkaesque realm of incomprehensible rules,with boundaries and schedules that change without rhyme or reason. Some have beenhere for years, while others have just arrived. Alienated and lacking agency they explorehow to survive in this seemingly endless limbo. A young girl is watching. How much ofwhat she witnesses are her own nightmares and how much reality? Together they findpathways that lead them deeper into the restricting maze until their connection to eachother brings the strength to bend rules and break walls.
