John and the Hole
Directed by Pascual Sisto
Produced by 3311 Productions, Mutressa Movies
A deeply unsettling psychological thriller about a disturbed adolescent's inexplicable act of familial captivity, exploring the void between a teenager and those closest to him.
While exploring the neighboring woods, 13-year-old John discovers an unfinished bunker — a deep hole in the ground. Seemingly without provocation, he drugs his affluent parents and older sister and drags their unconscious bodies into the bunker, where he holds them captive. As they anxiously wait for John to free them from the hole, the boy returns home, where he can finally do what he wants.
