Delirium in Restaurant "Romance"

It’s a beautiful evening in the Blue Forest where Marcelo has a surprise for his fiance Serena. But when a mysterious restaurant appears on their path, the unassuming couple is swept up into a surrealist world of intrigue and eroticism. With dinner underway, the couple’s bond is tested as the restaurant draws them deeper and deeper into delirium.
