The film is based on the novel "Būris" (1972, "The Cage") by Alberts Bels. Achitect Edmunds Bērzs is driving home from visiting his mother one day when he gets kidnapped and locked in a cage somewhere in a forest. With chances of a rescue party arriving growing slimmer each day, Edmunds inevitably evaluates his life.

有老外說這部片跟羅普桑斯基的「人文災難片」很相似。我倒覺得這部片故作深沉與苦難,一個籠子為符號倒牽扯了很多的超現實、隱喻、囈語和迷幻,再加上大量的free jazz。要是早幾年看,還真會特別喜歡。
配乐恰到好处地烘托了影片的氛围,让人感受到了强烈的情感共鸣。
剧情紧凑且充满转折,让人完全沉浸其中,无法自拔。
遗憾的是,剧情架构稍显松散,多条线索并行时衔接不够紧密,致使故事连贯性受损,观影时偶尔会有 “断档” 之感。
