The Platform (Spanish: El hoyo, lit. 'The Hole') is a 2019 Spanish dystopian thriller film directed by Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia. The film is set in a large, industrial tower named the "Vertical Self-Management Center" that houses criminal convicts. Every month, prisoners switch between the tower's many floors and are fed by a vertically moving platform with food on it. The platform is initially filled with large amounts of food, and gradually descends through the tower's levels, stopping for a fixed amount of time on each floor.
