During a winter residency in Brooklyn, ten women artists succumb to the darkness of their own creative fascinations and obsessions. In a kind of DIY punk tango that ambiguously mixes the fictional and the documentary, Winnie Cheung sculpts her first feature film, working on her own transcendence - woman, artist, New Yorker and daughter of immigrants - in contrast to her imminence and that of what surrounds her - bodies, space, time. The film follows ten women throughout the month of February 2022, in the gallery/art collective, The Locker Room, where they live for a month; but this time, instead of their story being arbitrated by the traditional male gaze, the tropes of the horror genre - such as the "final girl" - are subverted in order to dialogue about the true experience of a female artist in the moment of creation: anxiety with serious notes of pleasure, delirium and joy; the desire of the core over the physical; not knowing when to stop. They are the hands of the dream and the heart of the nightmare.
