Spoiler-free synopsis
Stephen Strange is a surgeon whose life changes after an accident. His search for a solution leads him to a place where he discovers a reality that does not fit his scientific knowledge. Learning the mystic arts confronts him with his own limitations and with threats beyond the everyday world.
His training forces Strange to abandon the certainty on which he built his career. Meeting other practitioners of the mystic arts begins a story of discipline, ego and discovery. The visual staging plays with buildings, perspectives and impossible spaces to convey his entry into a reality governed by different rules.
