Bright Night

2015 · 86 min

A slow, uneasy reunion in a quiet house where old wounds and desires simmer under a strange, unsettling calm.

Overview
A drama with a supernatural edge, this genre-crossing gem finds two couples visiting a home from their past, and sexual tension that brings out the worst in each other. Long-buried grudges resurface and it seems unlikely the couples will return intact. Faced with an outcome that will upset their delicate balance of happiness, the world offers them a bizarre opportunity to correct it.
