In the world of Crashlight, tens of millions of people in a dystopian/Orwell-esque future have only three minutes of sunlight a day.

This small amount of light is controlled by a fascist dictator, Marcus Pressi; a master of propaganda, a master of power and control by censorship. Rian, an illegal violin maker in the dark leaves her home and two sisters after discovering that "someone in the sky hides the light away." With courage, she disguises herself as the enemy in an attempt to reveal a beautiful freedom to those who don't even know one exists. Her original story and never before heard music expresses our capacity as people to desire truth and the divine power of communication through music.
