Synopsis:

Trapped in the Oval office that's been rigged to explode, four people - among which the President of the USA - find themselves in danger of life. Facing a probable death cancels roles and priorities and an improbable friendship blossoms. An amazing and unpredictable final will find four very different people escaping the trap.

The entire film is located in the same one room, the Oval Office of the White House, starring four people.The President of the United States enters into his office, the Oval office. There are two telephone technicians and an aspirant intern already in the room. Meanwhile the technicians are adjusting the new phone cables, the President starts to interview the intern. At a certain point the President receives an email that troubles him, it's written in English but it's apparently a message from out of space. An unknown species is declaring that the Oval Office is under a bomb-threat: if any of the four doors or windows are opened, or the phone receiver is taken up, the whole room will explode.The President's first reaction is to laugh out loud but further on, while the interview with the intern continues, he discovers that metallic cables are leading around each window and door, and so total panic erupts. Who on earth could ever have managed to penetrate the inviolable White House? The President talks to his head of security on the other side of the door, explaining the situation and that no one, for whatever reason, is allowed to touch the doors or the windows. On the other side of the door the President's staff starts investigating to find out what's going on but without any success, not even with the arrival of the Secretary of State, the Chief of Staff of the USA Army, the FBI and the CIA. Maybe the threat is really coming from the outer space, from aliens? In the email the aliens claim the return of alien corpses from the Roswell incident and pieces of their space ship, accusing the United States to have made secret experiments with their people, including their leader. This is the beginning of a 24 hours long trial of psychological suffering and terror for the four prisoners in the Oval Office.Without eating, going to the toilette or sleeping, with the only hope that the situation is just a bad dream or that the most intelligent people in the country on the other side of the walls will figure out a clever idea to resolve everything. The four of them start to get to know each other, they make confessions, they fight and they go through moments of panic and terror together. Slowly the president begins to understand, by communicating with his staff on the other side of the door, that there is something true behind the whole thing, something that has always been kept in the obscure. At a certain point one of the technicians suggests to try and defuse one of the bombs with his work tools. There seem to be no other solution so they decide to go ahead and make an attempt. This attempt of liberation scatters a series of sensational coup de theatres, which twist and turn the whole scenario of the film. It all summons up in an astonishing and unpredictable grand finale.

The President, an intern and two fiber optics specialists find themselves trapped in the Oval Office after discovering the windows and doors have been rigged to explode.
