A NIGHT — Technical Sheet
Synopsis
A Night is the first feature film directed by Tony D’Angelo. The film tells the story of four bourgeois forty-somethings from Naples, now living elsewhere for work, who return to their city for the funeral of a mutual friend, Antonio. After the wake, they decide to have dinner together and catch up, while also reliving memories of their past. The evening turns into a long night journey by taxi, driven by Raffaele, a humble man who will teach them life lessons. By the end of the night, each protagonist must come to terms with their own life choices.
