As the world sleeps, a man dreams and his dream-spirit explores the winding streets of a slumbering watery town. He travels as a ball of light and sees hints and suggestions of a woman who evades him. She appears variously as a shadow, a footprint or the reflection of a face just turning away. Whether she is living or dead is unclear. As night slowly recedes and nature covers the traces of past loves, they come together in a final meeting and fade away forever.
