Synopsis
Inspired by a haiku by Jack Kerouac – Evening coming / the office girl / unloosing her scarf – Easier Nights follows Ema during one of her first night shifts at an office. Her task is mechanical: entering numbers into a computer, a function emptied of meaning. When a sudden gust of wind sends her scarf flying out the window, Ema leaves her post to retrieve it. But this gesture sets in motion an absurd journey, as her compliant coworkers repeatedly try to hold her back. Feeling increasingly isolated, Ema longs to fit in, but refuses to fully surrender to the absurdity of the situation.
