Asylum is a film very much derived from chaos, expressing implicitly the ideas conjured up by its title. A strange mix of both documentary and fiction, where in the future a group of people are looking back at the twentieth century.

These fragments make up a documentary about an exiled group of disparate yet similar minds.
