The Platform (Spanish: El hoyo, transl. The Hole) is a 2019 Spanish social science fiction film directed by Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia.
The film is set in a large, tower-style “Vertical Self-Management Center.” Its residents, who are switched every month between its many floors, are fed via a platform which, initially filled with food at the top floor, gradually descends through the tower’s levels, stopping for a fixed amount of time on each. The system inevitably leads to conflict, as the residents at the top levels get to eat as much as they can, with each level only getting the leftovers from the previous ones.
The film’s cast includes Iván Massagué, Antonia San Juan, Zorion Eguileor, Emilio Buale Coka and Alexandra Masangkay. (wiki)
