Cornered

    Aevolum Cinema Presents · 77 minutes

    Four films about people with nowhere to go. A businessman trapped in a glass lift with a stranger who may be a killer. A cheese factory worker, freshly fired, who turns to burglary when she's burning with rage. A child spending an afternoon with a father she barely knows — and cannot leave. A man racing across the desert with a secret that is already closing in. No clean exits. Just the moment when there is only one direction left.
