Earth's sister planet, lifeless, fills the night with a pale reflected light. Cities and fires send their light forever into space, and people tell in their stories of the search for love and home. The wind blows around the world, carrying the smoke of their fires everywhere.

Some have power and some have less or none. One smiles and greets a friend in the street of a city, one carries bundles of wood on her head. One uses a computer all day, another searches for food on a desert hillside. None are at ease.
