Syncope

Fiction Directed By Linus Von Stumberg

Young choreographer Julius is looking for new dancers. Among them, Whim, catches his eye. Julius invites the troupe to his mansion for rehearsals. He pushes them to the limit. On the eve of the premiere, Julius invites them for a drink. They all wake up on stage. On their arms traces of an injection. A phone rings, it's Julius. He tells them, that they have been poisoned and that they need to dance for their lives. The curtain opens and the dancers perform. Whim struggles. Weakened by the poison, she fights for her survival.
