Nocturne

Nocturne

60th TIFF: Greek Premiere

On the eve of his debut’s first day of shooting, a young and ambitious director is desperately trying to put together the pieces of the puzzle. Time is closing in on him, the producers are running out of patience and his crew is left in the dark. On top of all this, his love and family life is in ruins. Having reached the state of despair, he hits the streets and finds himself entangled in a dreamlike labyrinth. As his pursuit for the thread of inspiration carries on, imagination begins to take on reality.
