Storyline

In a not-too-distant dystopia, a citizen voluntarily has himself imprisoned, promised that his release will bring increased social mobility. But confinement makes him so radicalised that he will do anything to protect the 'Italian cream pudding' delivered by the devil's food elevator on a one-way ticket. To understand this trajectory, we must understand his prison: the Pit, an exhilarating arrangement of a panopticon, with hundreds of platforms stacked vertically and hollowed out in the middle. Each day a platform adorned with a lavish feast descends from the top of the tower, pausing a few minutes at each level so those near the top eat their fill while those at the bottom fight over the leftovers — if any remain. As the nightmare nuances of this imprisonment are further revealed, the platform steadily presents itself as one of the most striking contributions to the sci-fi prison canon, and a profound allegory.
