Athens, 2022. A series of natural disasters and massive disruptions have left the citizens of Greece’s capital city tormented by angst and insomnia that persists for months now.
Amidst all this, a genderqueer charitable robber is roaming the dark, empty city streets. No one can really tell whether this night creature is just another urban legend or if he/she really exists. One night, a few sleepless Athenians will experience a rare encounter, and for the first time in a while, they will feel connected in their hearts. Together, they will finally go to sleep.
