Swimming in the clear blue waters of the Rainbow Hotel, Daniel Benchimol finds a waterproof camera, belonging to Moira, a Mozambican artist, famous for a series of photos depicting her own dreams - a woman he, Daniel, dreams about repeatedly. The two meet, and Daniel becomes involved in a mysterious project with a Brazilian neuroscientist, who's working with Moira on a machine to film and photograph people's dreams. This is just one of many dreamlike encounters, as characters appear in each others' dreams and the dreams of people around them.
