In the heart of the Great Depression, a group of unfortunate competitors gathers for a marathon dance contest, an event that becomes a desperate struggle for survival and redemption. Dorothy, a young woman worn down by life's hardships, feels trapped in a spiral of disillusionment. As the competition unfolds, she and her dance partner, a man named Gatsby, find themselves surrounded by other participants who share their own sad stories and lost dreams. Each day, the dancers are forced to keep up with the rhythm of the music and resist exhaustion as they vie for a cash prize that seems increasingly unattainable.
The tension rises not only from physical fatigue but also from the pressure of an audience that believes it has the right to weigh in on their lives and choices. The relationships between the characters become complex; ambition, desperation, and hopelessness collide in a dark and often brutal dance. As the hours and days stretch into a marathon of suffering, the true motivations of each person begin to reveal themselves. More and more, the contest transforms into a mirror of the human struggle for meaning and dignity in times of crisis. As the competition grows more fierce, the boundaries between hope and despair blur, leaving the characters confronted with the harsh reality of what they are willing to sacrifice to survive.
