Aux frontières de la nuit

2006

A quiet, humane night-shift mosaic that drifts through a city's shadows, asking you to sit with lonely people and small moral choices.

Overview: For twenty-four hours, Geneva becomes the living backdrop for a contemporary drama: by day, a place where life is good; by night, a refuge for the marginalized. Five characters will meet there, connected by the night shift of a pair of cops. Hans, a police officer nearing the end of his career and worn down by life, tries his hand at compassion, while Dan, his young partner, struggles between prejudice and discovering the other.
How it feels: Melancholic, tense, earnest and dark. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Isolation, class, identity, morality
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
