Being up all night, or wake up in the middle of it to go to work and have the bread and coffee we, so unconcernedly, drink as if it was brewed magically without any human participation.

The picture portrays the essence of the story; the darkness of the blue sky letting the red and yellow light of the new day show and announce the beginning of another day.
