Synopsis

Reality shows have been saturating the programming of the most popular television channels for years until finally the ratings begin to decline. In a last and desperate attempt, “Bajo Tierra” is created, where 12 young people must live for 90 days in an underground bunker in the middle of the Andes Mountains.
