The Night. The Silent Town. The Godforsaken rain. The Wind intensifies. The Storm approaches…
An old crumbling house stands abandoned below the forest. Small windows and a large backyard. Inside, two large rooms with a staircase leading to the upper floor and another door, which leads somewhere else.
Visitors from the unknown, one by one, enter this square room with a round table in its center.

The Topic: Eight people, eight archetypes of modern society. You can notice them on any street, in any town or country.
The Idea: Describing an unusual setting in a surreal environment by means of combining linear and nonlinear forms. Unique work of video art exploring the depths of experimental cinema. What are the greatest passions and the gravest misconceptions?
The tempestuous wind is sweeping, everywhere breeding melancholy, resembling an engine running a carousel of lost souls. The Day comes to say farewell.
A group of people is in an empty house.
Raindrops start pounding the roof above their heads, beating against the windowsills.
Eight players gather around the table swarmed with cards. They know the rules of the game. What they don’t know is each other.
Texas Hold ’em is the game.
The game starts.
It’s been coming slowly to a full boil in their minds.
The house is melting.
One by one, they disappear.
Is there any compassion within the walls?
