About the film

Six lonely insomniacs wander the streets of a melancholic city at night in search of affection, meaning, identity and a pug dog: an overwhelmed office employee misses the last bus home, an apathetic girl goes partying in search of affection, a lonely young man gets obsessed with his neighbor, an insecure pregnant teenager leaves her boyfriend, a man with insomnia loses his pet, and a homeless man walks the streets of downtown with no apparent direction.
