About the project

12 HOURS of a 24-hour-period is darkness. We spend the time mostly sitting at home, watching tv, eating and sleeping. But some people lives differently. They wake at dusk and fall asleep at dawn. Although we don’t see it, there is life, pulse, things going on during the hours of darkness. We want to capture that life, that feeling, those people.

In a journey through the Stockholm night we meet both those whose profession puts them there, but also those who are there for the spirit, the fellowship, the love. We meet happiness, frustration, surface, depth, bitterness and vision. There is tempo and derailing, there is reflective people portraits. There is the overall picture and the details. The movie is youthful, but not a youth documentary. The style wanders between documentary, music video and video art.
