Synopsis: | Trapped is a black comedy exploring the power of romantic love, voyeurism and the effects of physical and emotional isolation. Fran lives in an apartment opposite a men's prison. Although she can't see the men, she knows they can see her. Fran has learnt to cope with this invasion in her own special way. But when she gets a new flat mate, Jacky, things start to change. Jacky, obsessed with the constantly prying eyes of the men, becomes a prisoner in her own home. Meanwhile Mat and his cellmate, Angus, spend their entire time watching the women. By sitting on each other's shoulders they have a limited view into the women's kitchen, allowing them a tiny glimpse of heaven. Eventually Mat's unable to leave his cell as his entire existence is linked to Jacky and observing, listening to her every movement. While Angus and Fran hatch a daring escape plan. | |||||
