Synopsis:

Some people run away from the place where they are born, they feel they cannot grow there, others, on the contrary, stay in the same place all their lives, they can only grow where they have their roots. The former carry their personal stories like huge baggages, the latter develop stories along with their heavy roots.

All these people meet in a city, let’s say Cluj, but not necessarily, a technologised, young, touristy, multicultural city with a good image, and the best photo, say the specialists in the art of photography, is captured during the golden hour, at dawn or dusk, when the light is warm and soft. Beyond the golden hour’s glare remain people and their stories that connect regardless of the language they speak. What happens after the warm, soft light disappears?
