It is seven days to the 21st century and endless rains wreak havoc. With the onset of an epidemic, the government orders tenants to move out. Residents refuse despite utilities being cut off. One man does not call the plumber so that he can continue his unusual relationship with the woman below connected to him through the hole on his floor and in her ceiling. Meanwhile, the woman downstairs dreams of dancing in her neighbor arms.
