Lars can't sleep. The night makes noises and out from the dark The Night Girl comes dancing, she wants to dance with Lars – in the dark corners. Lars joins her, a little time, before he becomes scared to death. The last step is to be taken, into the darkest of the dark – but Lars can't move. Noises sound, he can't sleep, there is a dark he does not dare to meet, but is there a way back, now? And what will happen if Lars does what scares him the most? Will he disappear?

In the dark insomniac night emotions are strong, almost corporal. Imagination runs wild. Nattsvermar* (Moth) was just like that: Ears and eyes at full alert; everything can happen and eventually, happens. At the end: Calm breath.

Nattsvermar was supported by Arts Council Norway.
