THE FILM

Claudio (Alessandro Roja), a cynical and narcissistic businessman gets stuck in the elevator on the way to his office to complete an important project for his company. However, the elevator malfunction will be the least of his problems. A deadly virus is turning people into zombies with a murderous instinct. Stuck between two floors and trapped in a metal cage, with infected people trying to make their way in, Claudio will have to rely solely on his survival instinct to get out of that hell. The film was filmed in Rome and in addition to views of the city, the elevator was created on a technical set where other important film scenes that needed more room were shot. "Un giorne la fine" was produced by Mompracem srl (a new company that brings together Manetti bros, the German company Beta, and Madeleine), and Rai Cinema.
