Animated

Once upon a time, there was a world where the sun no longer pierced through the thick clouds. Once upon a time there was a city in the desert, living in rhythm with the heartbeat of machines and haunted by invisible motorcyclists. Once upon a time, there were a handful of children who alone, in this world of semi-darkness, had access to a source of light. They collected this light in small ‘‘sunboxes’’ to bring back to life those imprisoned in pictures. Once upon a time, there was a young woman who decided to find the children to help bring her beloved back to life. Beyond imagination, the young light catchers were hiding and reinventing the world so that the sun could shine again.
