A stifling look sweeps the great city and its
anonymous inhabitants who lead their lives in tension for survival, having accepted their fate. A reality in which feelings and emotions lose their original
meaning consumed by the urgency of new values. A lunar eclipse punctuates the changes in the lives of those people who make up a mosaic of the big city.
