Anabel is a young artist unable to find inspiration for her work. Tired of thinking of ideas she falls asleep at her desk. What at first seems like a nice dream soon turns into a nightmare. Late at night, she is woken up by the striking of the clock, and her dream gives her the inspiration she was looking for.
