THE ROOM - Exercise
THE ROOM - Exercise
1. Full synopsis
For Jack, a five-year-old boy, the room is the whole world, the place where he was born,
where he eats, plays and learns with his mother. At night, Mom puts him to sleep in the
closet, just in case Old Nick comes along. The room is Jack's home, while for his mother it
is the cubicle where she has been locked up for seven years, kidnapped since she was
nineteen. With great tenacity and ingenuity, the young woman has created a life for her son
in that small space, and her love for him is the only thing that allows her to bear the
unbearable. However, Jack's curiosity is growing, along with the despair of his mother, who
knows that the room will not be able to contain both for much longer.
