(2022, Italy, UK, 93')
Inspired by Jo Nesbø’s novel Midnight Sun, this noir thriller is set in the Norwegian summer, between past and present. John (Alessandro Borghi), is running from his father, a powerful mob boss whom he betrayed. After finding shelter in a forest close to a remote village, John understands how odd his surroundings are, with sunlight never leaving the sky and reality almost alienated by imagination. When the past comes to torment him, John cannot escape his demons. Only the closeness of Lea and Caleb will give John the strength he needs.
