Synopsis
A panicked wife calls for an ambulance as her husband has just suffered a heart attack. The paramedics rush to the scene but struggle to reach the man in time as the building’s high-security means that numerous locked gates and doors stand in their way. Based on actual events, the film poses the question that while we may fear outsiders and build walls around ourselves for protection—these “strangers” can more often than not be our saving grace.
