- Internationally renowned Argentine choreographer Oscar Araiz, 80 years old,asks his young and brilliant disciple Antonella Zanutto to help him preserve thetechniques that his teacher Dore Hoyer, creator, and exponent of the "newGerman dance," taught him sixty years ago, knowing that due to his age, thislegacy is in danger of being forgotten.
  She will embark on a research journey through various cities in Germany,following in the footsteps of Dore Hoyer, while incorporating in her own bodythe techniques and language of one of the most famous Germanchoreographers and dancers.
  It will be a moving journey, a race against time, which will challenge herexceptional dancer status, the love between masters and disciples, the passageof time in the body, art and desire, and the capacity of dance, as movement, tocombat death and oblivion.
  Upon her return, she and Oscar Araiz will create a new piece that she willperform herself as a tribute to Dore, which may be her master's last greatproduction.
