At night we fly
Original title: På natten flyger vi
Published: Natur & Kultur, 2018
This is Anna. During the day she’s slow. She hurries in her boots and rescues worms along the way.
But at night… At night she is a lion queen, running barefoot in the savannah, faster than the sun.
During the day, the children in the neighborhood are ordinary kids. They live in apartment blocks, listen to the radio with grandpa or pick their nose, they are bored and want out. But at night, they do everything they dream of doing. Someone stands on the roof and plays the trumpet, another one hands out hot dogs to all the children and is friends with everybody in the whole city.

”Det handlar om människans förmåga att resa i det inre och växa i drömmarna. Bilderna är färgsprakan- de akvareller. Språkets styrka är det minimalistiska. Hannah Arnesen - en stjärna är född.”
- KARIN OLSSON, EXPRESSEN
