In this set of shorts all set in urban spaces, filmmakers explore what it means to be lonely. Each of the protagonists is searching for something - whether it be lost connections, self-love, community, or authentic forms of self-expression. Braving the coldness of the city nights, these characters look for and hold onto what warmth they find in the dark.

The Promise is an urban fairy tale that plays out on the mean streets of a mean city. Here, a young thief tries to snatch an old woman’s bag but she cannot have it without giving something in return: The Promise. It is the beginning of a journey that will change her life and a chance to change the world for good.
