Into the Night

Director - Sergiu Zorger

Country - Romania

Run Time - 45 minutes

Our story starts as history ends. All that is left is the last day in a world where absurdity has become the new norm, where criminals deserve empathy and anarchists keep the order. Our guide through the sights and attractions of this world is Jack, a flaneur who leaves behind everything that binds him to this life. On his way, he meets hopeless optimists, the gatekeeper to a drug paradise and a mysterious girl. After almost getting shot to death by children, he celebrates his last moments at the "Last Ball." Death, life, beauty and the grotesque are all part of the same world and blend in such a way that the disturbing outlines the beauty of the mundane. In the end, the apocalypse arrives, just as expected, but it's alright. After all, it’s been a good death.
