Out Of Order

It is Friday evening in a big office building. Most people have left and are on their way home. Four late-comers get into the same express elevator, an ageing accountant, an aggressive youth, a beautiful woman and her arrogant former lover.

Seconds later they are all prisoners, suspended a hundred meters above ground, crammed into a few square meters, stuck between two floors. Nobody hears their cries for help. Then all attempts to free them fail. The cables holding the elevator snap, one after the other.

Frustrations built up over the years and newly created rivalries erupt. Secrets are betrayed. While the rescue operation proceeds, fateful decisions are being made. One of the four will not live to see the end of their adventure.
