Overnight Flies

2016 · 97 min

A quiet, haunting drift through isolation and memory, where nature's harshness and a ghostly companion blur into a slow, contemplative ache.

Directed by: Georg Tiller
Genres: Drama
Starring: Edward Weki, Jann Karlsson, Rana Iftikhar Ahmed

Overview: Eddie, a 65-year-old man from Sudan, seems to have been living for countless days on a remote stone-covered Swedish island. Surrounded by screaming birds and carrying a silent past, Eddie wanders around in nature, recollecting moments with a broken video camera. Accompanied by Jan, a ghostly hermit living deep in the forest, Eddie penetrates an otherwise hostile environment that is oblivious to his isolation. Despite his circumstances, Eddie looks for the miraculous in the overlooked present time.
