A single dose of an unknown synthetic drug, and the world stops making sense… Exotic dancer Vivienne experiences a night where the lines between reality and hallucination blur. Memories, withdrawal symptoms, and surreal imagery intertwine into a psychological nightmare. The deeper she sinks into her own consciousness, the harder it becomes to find a way back to reality. Yet it is in reality that her partner Ava and their failing relationship await. This hallucinatory film was directed by Jana Švadlenková at the Michael Academy. Nikolas Sand's striking cinematography earned a nomination for the Czech Association of Cinematographers Award.
