Precocious and attractive with hormones raging, a teenage boy and girl want some time alone—why not slip away to the abandoned factory on the outskirts of town? To their shock, they get stuck in an elevator. As time passes and help doesn't arrive, the too-cool-for-school twosome gradually becomes more humane, loving, modest and even a bit more philosophical with each other. Adapted by Gabriel Pinitilei from his own play, this truly independent Romanian drama was made with a handheld camera on a budget of $500, with a sparsely realistic set and masterful editing. Director-cinematographer George Dorobantu has obviously studied his Polanski, regarding the art of staging slow-burn emotional moments. Ultimately, this award-winning Romanian drama is less about going crazy than establishing a connection in extreme circumstances. Hell, it seems, isn't other people; your fellow man may actually be your salvation. —David Fear
