Synopsis

NIGHT is a cinematic feature documentary that explores the universal nature of night and how we experience it. NIGHT captures the mystery, mood and magic of the night and weaves these images into a lush and dramatic symphonic score. Voices from all walks of life tell stories of their 'affair' with the night; the pleasure and the pain, reality and fantasy, at work and at leisure, past and present and shows how the darkness of the night affects us all.
