Synopsis
In a dystopian future, any human emotion is under control and it is forbidden to freely express yourself through dance. In the discos humans must meet to further the reproduction of the species and going outside the rules would imply a transformation in to a cut-rose. The Babilonia club is inhabited by Sylvester and her queer helpers, who lay out the rules to be followed. On the dancefloor, Ermes and Didi will find the way to implement a surprising and alternative transformation.
