A group of little girls parade through a forest at night, each carrying a brown paper bag that glows with firefly-like flickering light. “Nocturne for the Fireflies” is a cinematic interpretation of a dream that explores the interconnected relationships among young girls. Evoking the storytelling style of folktales or children’s lullabies, the film depicts a midnight procession of young girls as a magical and transformative collective.
