A primordial tale about courage, hope and brotherhood. On the first night of the world, Lucia, a small cowardly insect, gathered her courage and went on an adventure in search of the missing Sun. As a reward she will become a firefly. In fear we can find the drive for a positive change. Even in the darkest times we can always turn on a light!
