Synopsis
In a dreamless, dystopian future, ELENITA, a call center agent suffering from memory loss, gets paid in DREAM-TIME. Through these transient dreams, she relives her past as a rising pop diva. As she immerses further into her fantasies, guilt and regrets from her past begin to emerge while her waking life unravels, affecting her strained relationship with her daughter. Elenita must now choose between chasing her lost dreams and confronting reality, or risk losing the most important person to her.
