The moon watches us as we sleep and tunes into an ominous dream inhabited by red-winged blackbirds, feared for their aggressiveness. In this illusory urban landscape, the natural order seems irrational and hostile. However, as the chirping of the birds warns us, perhaps it is the dream of cities that is out of sync with its surroundings. In the empty spiral between moonrise and dawn, the film examines contingent relationships with natural and urban landscapes in an era of perpetual crisis.
