A symbolic animated ascent through a surreal staircase where characters confront their own folly before reaching transcendent light, blending existential weight with spiritual aspiration.

The climbing of an immense staircase made up of the most varied stairs. Symbolic scenes occur on different levels where characters seem to be prisoners of their deeds and of their own folly. The steep staircase leads little by little towards the zones of great light where human beings and nonhuman beings meet.
