The club as a place of endless (im)possibilities. A man and a woman wait here together for 25 years for a mysterious, all-changing event to occur. From 1979 to 2004: from disco to techno. A love story and an obsession.

This is a melancholic, atmospheric slow-burn steeped in the evolving energy of nightclub culture across decades. It explores the obsessive nature of impossible love and the wistful tragedy of a life spent waiting for an elusive, transformative event, all against a pulsating backdrop.
