The dust of war keeps the eyes sleepless. Night brings peace and sleep to all the people in the broken town. Only the eyes of the mother of the missing child stay resilient. Night has to trick her into sleeping to save her soul. The animation film had its world premiere at the Padri di domani competition of the 2021 Locarno Film Festival.
