ROOM
tells the extraordinary story of Jack, a spirited 5-year-old who is
looked after by his loving and devoted mother. Like any good mother, Ma
dedicates herself to keeping Jack happy and safe, nurturing him with
warmth and love and doing typical things like playing games and telling
stories. Their life, however, is anything but typical–they are
trapped–confined to a windowless, 10-by-10-foot space that Ma has
euphemistically named Room. Ma has created a whole universe for Jack
within Room, and she will stop at nothing to ensure that, even in this
treacherous environment, Jack is able to live a complete and fulfilling
life. But as Jack’s curiosity about their situation grows, and Ma’s
resilience reaches its breaking point, they enact a risky plan to
escape, ultimately bringing them face-to-face with what may turn out to
be the scariest thing yet: the real world.
