ABOUT NOCTURNA
In the dark of night, when the shadows lengthen and take on a life of their own, when things go bump in the night, and all the corners of the house seem to hide some mystery, our imagination fills up with fears. The light from stars, street lamps and the moon through the window manage to turn these phantasms into recognizable shapes and ease our worries. But what would happen if suddenly all light were to go out completely?
Tim, an easily frightened orphan, is the main character of Nocturna. He will have to deal with the sudden disappearance of the stars, which threatens to submerge nighttime into the deepest darkness. He will bravely face up to this disaster, and his own fears as well. The little boy will submerge himself in an exciting adventure through Nocturna, a parallel world that comes about every night when we fall asleep. It is a surprising adventure for everyone who sleeps and dreams.
