Synopsis
Every day in The Village is just like every other. There’s the beach and the theatre, and the tennis court . . . and the mysterious underground chamber where every move is watched. In this sinister wonderland for those who know too much ever to know freedom, the average day is just a trip to the grocer’s, a conversation with a Number . . . and a chance to escape. . . .
