1) In the physical world of an enthusiastic fitness instructor fending off the inevitable aging process in himself and his clients, a man is visited by memories of his grandmother. He lives in the world of flash and physicality, but is drawn to the labyrinth of memory where his grandmother resides and dares to dance the border between The Here and The Beyond, taking his fitness class along with him.
