The story of „Karner 9“ centres the relationship of a father and son stuck in an elevator. In this confined room, the ghosts of the past are awakening. But father and son talk about Arabs, sneakers and moustaches – about anything except the important. As time goes by, the elevator becomes a prison guard who unleashes his own fateful energy.
Is it possible for father and son to free themselves from constant repetition and captivity?
