Заложники
Director
Человек сидит в камере. Его жизнь разделилась на до и после. Неожиданно в помещение входят несколько незнакомцев, завязывают ему глаза, затыкают рот, связывают по рукам и ногам. Голову и все тело обматывают липкой лентой. В результате человек превращается в беспомощное подобие египетской мумии и не может оказать сопротивление. Он не может даже пошевелиться и надеется лишь на то, что его размотают и оставят в покое в какой-нибудь другой камере или в каком-нибудь другом доме. Он начинает философски относиться к этой долгой дороге в специальном потайном отделении тяжелого грузовика, где между двумя такими же «куклами» прячется еще и охранник с пистолетом
