It's a fact of life: Good Germans wait at red traffic lights. But what if the red man simply will not appear? Taking place almost entirely on the most pernicious traffic island imaginable, 90 DEGREES NORTH is a humorous, fantastical parable offering an extreme take on the notion of following the rules of a civil society. Drawn deep into the forest by blood-curdling screams, we follow the fate of Karl, a 30-something businessman and young father on his way to an important presentation. He soon finds himself trapped on an apparently inconspicuous traffic island, accompanied by Mr. Gruber, a stickler for traffic regulations and believer in superior systems. A bitter and unexpected fight for survival ensues. Will Karl manage to outwit this fiendish organism and escape?
