Each day subjects are made to sit in a white room, watch patterns on a TV screen, and listen to a calm voice telling them that emotions are the weakness of mankind. ​ One day, instead of a TV in the room there is an hourglass. The subjects pick up the hourglass and see flashes of what their life could be with emotions. Will the subjects give into their human emotions, or stay trapped in their emotionless prison?
