Don't Let the Sun
In a world unsettlingly close to our own, the planet is overheating and humanity lives by night. Jonah works for a company that sells simulated relationships, at a time when genuine emotional bonds are increasingly rare. When he is assigned the role of father to a young woman named Nika, the carefully constructed order of his life begins to unravel. A subtle dystopian narrative that reflects on the importance of human closeness and authentic relationships.
