'A late 20th century Beatrice (Anne Louise Lambert), mother of a young child, keeps a map ‘dredged from her dreams’ in a copy of Dante’s Inferno. Prompted by questions from her young daughter Maeve (Maeve Dermody), and feeling unease with her own historical present, Beatrice is compelled to make a journey to the underworld. Armed with her map, she and Maeve find a guide, a modern day Hermes-like taxi driver named Herman (Kristoffer Greaves), to take them below the city’s surface. Herman leads Beatrice and Maeve through the gates of Pluto’s Republic, to begin their subterranean journey.'
