A reclusive woman in her thirties leads a life condemned to being stuck in time in a cave-like room. During her rare trips to the city, she chats with an oarswoman haunted by demons. She searches for her sister in the city in places like an old TV repair shop, a basement set for ping pong, an abandoned botanical garden. During this journey in which time and space are out of joint, a recurring dream is recounted time after time.
