In her desperate search for sleep seventeen-year-old Eva does everything to stay the night at other people’s houses where she watches others while sleeping. When being awake through the nights, Eva takes us to the backside of normal life at the same time forcing her family and friends to develop a different perspective on what they thought is „normal“.

Maya suddenly wakes up in the middle of the night and finds herself at "Am Himmel" in Vienna. She is not dead, she is in Vienna. It is night. She checks out her body. What is she missing?

At 67, Teresa's life is defined by the pain she carries in her body—invisible, yet ever-present. In search of relief, she lies down on the floor, at home or under a tree, near her "little heaven," a comforting amulet. But when patterns from the past return, Teresa must flee. This time, not from a man, but into an unexpected journey with her daughters—one of whom is the director of this film.
