In a prison where prisoners are fed on a descending platform, those on the upper levels take more than they deserve, while those below go hungry, and one man decides to change the system. The film was shot chronologically, as Iván Massagué had to lose 12 kilograms (26 lb) over six weeks of filming to show his physical deterioration. When the characters are on the platform, it descends more slowly than before. Goreng: The people above don’t listen to me. Imoguiri: Why not? Goreng: I can’t shit. Featured in FoundFlix: The Platform (2020) Explained (2020). The idea behind the plot is interesting and the film is effective and powerful, but the ending confused and disappointed me a bit.
