A sultry summer night in Brussels. As the city settles down from the day’s hustle, loneliness, desire, and chance encounters quietly roam through streets, hotel rooms, and phone booths.

In this film, rhythmically edited like a dance, Chantal Akerman speaks not through dialogues but through bodies, glances, and the texture of the night. Characters do not intersect but share a common emotion—leaving, waiting, searching, finding, or losing. With time giving way to feelings, the film becomes a powerful mosaic of countless stories unfolding over a single night.

The film was restored by the Royal Film Archive of Belgium (CINEMATEK), Fondation Chantal Akerman, and Amazing Studios (Paris).

Screened with the support of Fondation Chantal Akerman.
