An elevator gets stuck, with three people inside. The businessman's cellphone breaks down while he discusses a large cargo stuck in Paraguay, so he demands to use his neighbor's, but he insists to keep the line open expecting calls from his mother on her deathbed. The third man tries to mediate while making philosophical observations, but gets caught in linguistic disputes. When well-meaning Dutch lift operator Kees contacts them by intercom, the businessman's aversion for Dutch people starts a tragic dynamic.
Drie mannen zitten vast in een lift. Er is echter geen reden tot paniek. Kees brengt immers redding.
