Anne is offered a place to live in Zagreb by Cincia who she meets at the club in which she dances. But the offer has sinister strings attached - Anne soon comes to believe that she is going insane and suspects that she may be responsible for a series of murders she's been dreaming about. Or could it have something to do with Cincia's hypnotic skills, perhaps?
