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.

Coffee was served with much splendor at the harems of the Ottoman palace and mansions. First, sweets (usually jam) was served on silverware, followed by coffee serving. The coffee jug would be placed in a sitil (brazier), which had three chains on its sides for carrying, had cinders in the middle, and was made of tombac, silver or brass. The sitil had a satin or silk cover embroidered with silver thread, tinsel, sequin or even pearls and diamonds.
