Synopsis:
Static vignettes, gazes and glances of a nighttime city that seems to slowly revolve around it's somnambulist inhabitants. Another fine example of the Super 8 format affording glimpses into scenes and subcultures normally invisible to most. The high contrast of the stunning monochrome cinematography and a remarkable soundtrack that drifts in and out like the radio of a distant passing car evoke the drowsiness of an hour far passed bedtime yet where, for some, there remains time to wait.

Director: Oswald Berends
