FILM SYNOPSIS

Adela, Ilya, Uriel, José, and Fernanda voluntarily participate in a playful ritual to fracture their rigid identities. Through a sensory journey where norms dissolve, the five delve into a collective delirium that functions as their only space of freedom. In this hall of mirrors, losing one's mind means shedding the labels that imprison us.
