May is almost 25 years old when she randomly crosses paths with John. They could not be more opposed, and yet the thread of a secret holds them together. John is convinced that he is destined for something incredible and makes a pact with May that she will accompany him in his waiting for it to happen. Ever since that night, during their weekly meetings at the huge glitter-filled nightclub, the time stops still. The Berlin Wall may fall, and the AIDS crisis may tear through the first generation of clubbers, yet all of these things don't matter. May and John remain unchanged and ageless, waiting, not sure for what.
From 1979 to 2004, from disco to techno, this fresh adaptation of Henry James’s celebrated 1903 novella is a love story and the tale of an obsession. It is an incredible existentialist journey at once romantic, euphoric, melancholic and melodramatic, all set to a pulsing soundtrack of the all-time dancefloor favourites.
