The story follows a young female journalist, Rie (Christine Sønderris), who is visiting a Copenhagen Metro construction site in order to report on the works. After an unexpected explosion, she ends up trapped underground with two workers, Ivo (Krešimir Mikić) from Croatia and Bharan (Semere Russom Samson) from Eritrea. There, they will have to find a way to survive despite the fact that each of them has a completely different world view. The film is set to be released in Denmark in autumn 2018.
