In their own apartment, in everyday life, in deeply rooted traumas or paralysing fears: The protagonists in these visually impressive stories are prisoners of their own claustrophobic and metaphorical periphery. Caught between dreams and nightmares, surrealism and reality, the films tell of alliances, liberation, defeat, triumph and self-discovery. Dark tales both with and without light at the end of the tunnel.
