Maria is a young, hotheaded but insecure tango dancer. She recently started an affair with Anton, the leader of her dance-company. During a rehearsal Maria loses her temper after getting ridiculed by her peers. An old man offers help, but actually ends up trapping her in a mirror world where she is haunted by her fears and nightmares. Only when Maria realises how unique and faceted she really is, she is able to escape.
