From Sun to Sun

From Sun to Sun

Some don't sleep to dream, but to rest from life

2005

She wakes up slowly, confused between the caress of her husband and the sound of the radio. A moment later she gets up, tidies up the house, takes a bath, has breakfast, and leaves for work. In the afternoon she returns, prepares dinner and wakes up her husband. He helps her with some chores, takes a bath, eats and goes out to work. The story is too common. Like them, thousands of couples cross and estrange away, day after day.
