About
43-year old Yuri is a successful psychiatrist and hypnotist. A raving and committed non-believer, he is capable of rationalizing anything…except for his own nightmares. In his dreams, he sees his ex-wife who, many years ago, committed suicide, which was partially his fault. A red-headed woman he doesn't know. And a strange symbol that looks like an infinity sign. Because of insomnia, Yuri is used to spending his night hours getting drunk at a strip joint, and at times he drags dancers to his home. During one of his visits, he meets a new young dancer named Anya and suddenly finds himself getting attached to her. A mother of a small boy tormented by nightmares turns to Yuri for help. As he tries to untangle this case, Yuri begins to find evidence that reincarnation exists. And the boy gives him a clue to the mystery of his own nightmares.
