Overview
Synopsis
The nation is in the grips of a dangerous pandemic. Grace, a retired professional dancer showing symptoms of the virus, has agreed to take part in a unique experiment to try and find a cure. She dances over and over again for days, under the instruction of a disembodied voice. The voice firmly believes that to understand the virus, you must understand the human. But to understand the human, you must understand art. But can art--and love--root out the cure?
