Night-time scenes filmed in various large cities of nineteen European countries, where shadow and light play a key role (the film’s very visible grain accentuates the effect of night). This is a nocturnal architecture in which the streets are perceived differently than in the vibrant light of day: they are almost empty, yet full of many absent presences. These banal places become places of fantasized memories. (Cinéma Spoutnik)
