Overview

Curled up in a ball in her cluttered bedroom, a young woman gets a notification that lands like a joke: DAILY CHALLENGE - Dance in a public place. Her answer: "Fine. What else do I have to lose?" Armed with an old cassette and a Walkman, she steps into Los Angeles - and tiny, guarded movements on a Metro car start to grow. The city notices. Some of it dances back. Five minutes. Almost no dialogue. One small, absurd act of courage that keeps getting bigger. A film about what it costs to be seen - and what it gives back.
