Public concern about the shortage of energy sources is increasing everyday.
Looking at ourselves is a first step to understand how we really are and how we live.
Following this conceptual cue, a firefly becomes the symbol of alternative energy sources, the poetic and delicate metaphor of an energy source that is clean, primitive and that could soon disappear.
A small firefly that together with many others, “switches on” the light we need to see how to move, how and how much we should consume, what we can do with energy and what we could do not to waste it.
