Medical student Bára experiences emotional stagnation. Overwhelmed by medical terminology, she loses space for her own feelings. Her life lacks passion, physical desire… or love. Dance becomes her only escape. A wild party brings a revelation, but it doesn’t solve her problem – instead, it deepens it.
