B. is fed up with her groundhog day life in a boring apartment building with her husband and their two children. When she catches a glimpse of her neighbor across the street it sparks a fantasy about a more exotic life. B. witnesses a drama which leads to the death of the neighbor. B. decides to take care of the dead man and starts performing strange rituals with him. We watch as B. plunges deep into an imaginary world and releases a long forgotten passion.
