- Surreal black comedy about an assortment of odd characters trapped in an asylum in the quiet English countryside. It is run by staff whose sanity is decidedly suspect, as proved by their admission of the local pizza-delivery boy for trumped-up reasons. As the patients try bizarre escapes, is the whole thing is a massive experiment, or just a cruel hoax?
