Experiencing Interruptions?

THE LADDER

We are following the journey of Aba going to a rave at an underground club called 'THE LADDER'. She’s the kind of girl who never needs to queue, and everyone either knows her or wants to get to know her. As she enters the club, the energy increases. Everyone’s drinking; dancing; kissing; she’s exactly where she belongs.
