    • Synopsis

    • Maria is a young, hotheaded but insecure tango dancer. She recently started dating Anton the choreographer of her dance company but isn’t quite sure where their relationship is going.

      During a rehearsal Maria loses her temper, after getting ridiculed by the other ensemble members. While leaving the building she falls through a trapdoor into a cellar, where she encounters an old man who invites her into his basement apartment.

      The old man lures Maria into a mirror reality where she is immersed into her dreams and fantasies. The old man is trying to steal her dreams, so he can experience them whenever he wants. Maria’s dreams quickly turn into nightmares. After facing her deepest fears she is able to escape.
