Fermat’s Room

Synopsis
Summoned to a remote warehouse by the enigmatic Fermat, four mathematicians are tasked with solving highly complex numerical riddles. Correct solutions will slow down the process by which the walls, operated by four Poseidon hydraulic presses, could eventually crush them to death. The film raises important questions about the value of mathematical proof.
