About the film
Dienatryx finds a flower inside an abyss and, from this encounter, begins a journey of transformation. Through dance, she undergoes a ritual of self-confrontation that intensifies when she comes face to face with her own reflection in a mirror. Confronted with this image, Dienatryx breaks away from the form she once recognized as her own by tearing off her nose. From that moment on, the dance shifts, opening space for a new relationship between Dienatryx and the flower.
