Rene lives a dull, uneventful life in a subterranean and futuristic world. He is about to be promoted and transferred from Circle One to Circle Six, when a series of mysterious mounds start to appear systematically in his apartment. Circle One's starting point is Dante's Divine Comedy which combines the notion of Michael Haneke's thriller with Andrei Tarkovski's intimacy albeit clearly influenced by pioneering directors like Stanley Kubrick or George Lucas.
