By challenging the stereotypes of marriage and touching on a taboo subject, such as fidelity/infidelity in a relationship, through the eyes of a woman, the film's story is timeless and always relevant. Based on analytical psychology and shadow theory, in which human beings have a dark, repressed, guilty side that follows them and opposes their conscious principles, the film focuses on the urban nocturnal wanderings of a woman experiencing an inner crisis.
