The idea, initially, was to explore a ball room, at first empty, then gradually filling with memories of dances which return and disappear. A succession of fragments of frenzied waltzes, fiery tangos, quasi ritual discos, interspersed by periods of dreams, all of which is stylized and intermingled, right up to a finale where the whirling dances mingle in a world of magic.
