 The film begins in the ruins of war. On a muddy night, a woman is looking for her lost daughter in the ruins. The Goddess of the moon wearing the clothes of the night tries to save her, but she can't accept any piece of hope in despair. In deep despair, the goddess tricks her into resting for a while. The film, which portrays the horrors of war in animation, expresses sympathy and tries to console people who lost their families in the ruins and spend sleepless nights alone. Who is the war for? The film briefly but intensely captures the suffering of people living in war zones that have nothing to do with the cause of war. It desperately touches the meaning of the phrase "Let me sleep in peace at the end of every prayer. Even now, I quietly repeat it with my hands together for those who suffer from war and can't fall asleep easily anywhere in the world. "Please let them sleep in peace even for just one night." (LEE Seungmin)
