What happens

Sleep Has Her House is a 2017 British experimental film written, directed, produced, scored, and edited by Scott Barley. It features no actors or dialogue. The film is considered part of the slow cinema movement due to its use of long takes, the longest of which is an 11-minute shot of the sun setting. It was shot on an iPhone 6, continuing Barley's trend of filming with camera phones. It also features still photography and hand-drawn images by Barley. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
