Night has come. Everyone is asleep, even the animals. Or so it seems. A few lights have remained on and this quiet summer night is filled with people, cats, owls, dogs and little details. Some are reading in the library, some are celebrating in the park, some are camping in the garden, some have stolen Susanne's hat, some have forgotten to turn on the bike lights and some are flying endlessly.

After the beautiful Books of Seasons, Rotraut Susanne Berner, in the same small town, brings the night down, revealing a nocturnal, secret, precious world that is anything but calm and silent.
