Un conduttore radiofonico, come ogni giorno all'alba, torna a casa dopo una notte di lavoro, con la speranza di poter dormire. Mentre i suoi occhi si chiudono, la strada si sveglia... Le grida e i rumori del quartiere diventano protagonisti del suo sogno. Riuscire a dormire è un sogno e la sua veglia diventa un incubo.

A radio conductor, like every day at dawn, returns home after a night work, hoping to be able to fall asleep.
