Asylum Seekers is a freewheeling, demented, dark comedy of the modern world, in which six men and women, fed up with the abuse they suffer in normal society, seek to escape from it and to find asylum as inmates of a mental institution. Theyve all heard about a place up on the hill with an exclusive treatment program; now each of them is out to show just how mad they can be when electro-shock treatment and a comfy bed with a nurse feeding you has come to be the perfect alternative to life on the outside. But the asylum has its own unexpected agenda; for a start, due to a massive influx of patients, there is only one place left. As the characters are made to compete against each other for this spot, it becomes clear that this is no ordinary institution.
