SYNOPSIS

An artist, devastated by the violence he has endured, retreats within himself finding the strength stepping onto the stage. In Miss Dress's universe, being exposed to an audience is a moment of revelation. The wounded soul of the child, continuing in the adult's body, seeks acceptance and love from his inner world, from family, and from the people around him.
