Night owls, insomniacs, are creatures of the night. They emerge while the rest of us sleep. They experience situations and moments which range from the absurd to the tragic, passing through adventure. In Noctámbulos, we visually tell their stories; they excite us, they move us. They are the ghosts of the city. No one sees them or knows them, but they are among us. These are their stories as told by themselves. The personal approach, entry into privacy, and close narration like a whisper to which we are unintended witnesses makes us their companions and accomplices in their personal odyssey. It is a search for individuals trying to find a way out of their own labyrinth.
