Seven Days

Seven Days is a frantic, claustrophobic comedy of errors that turns a medical emergency into a social battlefield. When a smallpox quarantine is suddenly slapped onto a grand Victorian household, the inhabitants—a wealthy family, a bumbling police officer, and a burglar who picked the worst night for a heist—are forced into a seven-day lockdown. The film strips away the veneer of high-society etiquette as the characters navigate secret passageways, mistaken identities, and the mounting paranoia of infection. It is a study in forced proximity, where the law, the lawless, and the elite are reduced to the same level of survivalist desperation, all while trying to maintain the decorum of a dinner party that has gone horribly off the rails.
