Synopsis

An elevator breaks down, leaving a group of miserable strangers inside, each with their own story and goals. They include a movie star (Hend Rostom), a lunatic (Abdel Moneim Ibrahim), and other miserable souls. When they begin to realize they have little chance of escaping alive, they learn to see life in a better light and their hopes rise with the near-death experience. Meanwhile, an equally unhappy person outside the elevator tries to commit suicide by jumping off the roof of the building, at least until help arrives and saves those who can save him.
