Story

Following in the technical footsteps of The Mandalorian: a gripping sci-fi thriller and the first German film to be shot in a virtual reality LED studio. Jackpot! Adrian and his four best friends have won an Escape Room adventure. But this harmless leisure activity turns out to be a social experiment which really puts their friendship to the test: an artificial intelligence controls what is happening and begins to set the players off against each other and confront them with their deepest fears. And suddenly the game is deadly serious.
