The Night. She doesn't sleep. She calls. She tells. She saw a movie. This film tells the story of two nights. One night which is not seen in images, existing only in the words of The Clock, by Minnelli, an old Hollywood film.

So, in fact there are two films, two stories that come together at the same time, getting closer, and moving away, merging with what they have in common: desire, night and the city.
