On a hot night in 1954, a group of iconic pop culture figures gathers at a hotel in New York, where the history of humanity intersects with a touch of surrealism. Among them, a brilliant and carefree physicist has just arrived in the city to attend a crucial event about his discovery, which could change the course of the Cold War. However, the night takes an unexpected turn when they encounter a famous actress, who is seeking to distract herself from her life filled with ups and downs and the pressures of the industry.
The electric interaction between these two main characters reveals deep insecurities, ambitions, and the quest for identity in a world that seems to spin faster and faster. The presence of a journalist and a figure that symbolizes the patriarchy offers a biting critique of fame, science, and power. As the conversation becomes more philosophical, themes such as the insignificance of existence and the struggle to be remembered in a world that seems to forget easily unfold.
With an intriguing visual style and a script filled with incisive dialogue, the film challenges the audience to reflect on the impact of individual decisions and the search for meaning. Amid laughter and moments of tension, the characters find themselves caught in a dance of banality and transcendence, as the global story looms around them.
