Synopsis
Abducted by a mysterious entity, Mel is forced to participate in a bizarre psychological experiment. Trapped in “The Room,” she has one roommate, but each month, they vanish, replaced by someone new. With no hope of escape, she faces a life where she will never know anyone longer than 30 days. It’s difficult to say what’s worse: knowing that anyone she cares about will disappear, or that they might be replaced by someone worse.
Universe 25 is an allegory for a universal human dilemma: how can you find happiness when everything (and everyone) in life is transient? Where is hope in the face of relentless adversity? A must-watch for fans of sci-fi, psychological horror, and character-driven dramas alike.
