After an abortion, a woman wanders the streets of Paris, engaging in a series of silent encounters under the neon lights of Chinatown. Taking place over the course of a single night and drawing inspiration from the writings of cult literary figures Kathy Acker, Bernadette Mayer, and Alice Notley, the film intertwines dream and reality. Shot in the reddish glow of karaoke bars, cinemas, and clubs - a collective, feminist autofiction with a cast of artists, poets, and actors.
