Black Box movie storyline. In Berlin, the entrances and exits of an apartment building are closed without any reason. When the authorities do not make any explanation, the residents of the building try to guess the reasons for this blockade. From the threat of terrorism to criminals on the run, theories quickly turn to loss of confidence and then to irritability. In the face of this uncertainty that threatens their existence, the residents of the building drop their masks of humanity one by one and pursue their own interests like toys in the hands of power and capitalism.
