During a nighttime visit to the museum, a woman comes across several visitors with odd behaviours. She meanders through the exhibits, driven by a vivid desire to vibrate, to feel. A painting catches her attention. She feels seized by it. Around the woman, time stands still. A wild desire to touch the painting overcomes her. Bewildered, she then falls into a surreal parallel universe. In this creative journey, she finds familiar faces with whom she shares artistic and acrobatic impulses.
