The shooting crew explores ancient brick tunnels of the underground river. To get to the main course, they have to crawl for six kilometers along narrow wet pipes. In case of even the slightest precipitation the water in the underground river reaches up to the ceiling. One has to constantly watch the water level and if any hazard arises - to quickly get to the surface.
