This is the story of a broken day in a city that isolates individuals in a chaotic nocturne geography. It is the story of one of those days when the music is loud and life feels dyed with sadness. With melancholia. With infinity.

It is the cluster of a daily life story. The story of a cats, a man, a woman... beings who find in alcohol an escape from daily numbness.

It is a soundscape of a city on the verge of climax.

It is the moment before the clash.
