Plot

A woman enters a nightclub and slowly begins to open herself up.

Sinekatalog’s take

A woman in a nightclub gradually opens up in a dreamlike, impressionistic silent film. The visuals prize sensation and feeling over plot. A graceful piece for lovers of early avant-garde and French impressionism.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
