Speed dating from hell, but make it fashion—and reproductive mandates.
In a dystopian future in which emotions and bodies are regulated by an authoritarian system, an application picks Didi and Ermes to celebrate a mating rite in a nightclub, a place that is now exclusively dedicated to the reproduction of the species. Sylvester, queen / tyrant of the club and some other grotesque beings that inhabit the club lead Didi and Ermes into this rite.
