Synopsis:

Twelve TV reality show contestants are locked in a room in the dark for a month. The house is riddled with “night-vision” cameras relaying the pictures in black and white.

Each room has its own shower, toilet and bed. Each contestant receives a tray of food 3 times a day with sedation tablets already mixed in their food. The contestants spend most of their time sleeping with occasional walks inside their respective rooms.

Every day they also have to endure one hour of psychotherapy where they are also hypnotised. The show is being aired uncut over the internet and an edited version is broadcast live every day of the week for an hour.

The winner of this experience is the contestant who can physically and mentally survive this ordeal. There can only be one winner and every day new contestants are ejected from the game.

Dr Kelvin is the omnipresent yet invisible master of ceremonies guiding, monitoring and questioning the contestants. The main TV show is in full color.

The film contains male and female nudity.
