Synopsis

A group of neighbors with different ideas and circumstances, along with a policeman and a thief, hide in a bomb shelter during a German aerial bombardment of London. Once the attack is over, they discover that they cannot get out of there, because the entrance door is jammed by the rubble. It is from there that they discover that they can die asphyxiated within a maximum period of ninety minutes, which will change the lives of all of them and will make the true identity of each one emerge.
