A darkly surreal, paranoia-soaked experiment in power and captivity where the line between captors and captives dissolves into philosophical ambiguity.

A bunch of young hipsters kidnaps a loving couple and keeps them trapped in a barren landscape. To the sounds of free jazz they are performing various experiments with the couple. In the distance is a yakuza gang keeping track of the youths. Who are really experimenting with whom?
