The struggle to the top is more than familiar. Is the 'top' real? Does the struggle end? What are you willing to do to get to the front? Five people queue up in a line: waiting for what or who is never made clear. Nevertheless, each of them is determined to get to the front. Using all kinds of stratagem to get ahead - some honest, some plain clever and some rather dubious - this static race to the top becomes a bleak metaphor of the times in which we live and the games we play with others and ourselves as we totter on the brink of chaos.
