    • Synopsis
    • Apparently, Sito and Ana make a happy couple. The night of their fifth anniversary, Sito runs out on an argument, saying he’ll take out the trash. Ana follows him into the elevator. They argue on the way down, but when they reach the lobby, they immeadiately return to the tenth floor. Over and over again. They’re stuck in a time loop. Sito is aware of this: Ana, however, isn’t. He has to convince her: they’re trapped in a broken time machine. As they look for an exit, they’ll have to work through their issues as a couple.
