The film is set in a large, industrial tower named the "Vertical Self-Management Center." Residents of the tower are imprisoned in the center as punishment for committing crimes. Every month, prisoners switch between the tower's many floors and are fed by a vertically moving platform with food on it. The platform is initially filled with lots of food, and gradually descends through the tower's levels, stopping for a fixed amount of time on each floor. Since the residents of each floor tend to eat as much food as they can, those on the lower floors are unable to eat as much food as those at the top, leading to conflict. ## Credits - **Director:** [Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia](https://cinepixo.com/people/galder-gaztelu-urrutia) - **Screenplay:** [David Desola](https://cinepixo.com/people/david-desola) - **Original Music Composer:** [Aránzazu Calleja](https://cinepixo.com/people/aranzazu-calleja) - **Director of Photography:** [Jon D.
