A documentary study of urban nightlife and insomnia. Following several characters who inhabit the dark world of 24-hour bars, slot machine dives, night clubs and casinos, this film offers a glimpse into the lives of people who seem to love the eternal night. Driven by insomnia, escapism, odd friendships, night adventures, but also criminal underworld and drug addiction, they spend their time in "bunkers". By using meth and other stimulants, their insomnia and paranoia are only getting worse. An unusual portrait of a subculture that pursues its own values and moral code. (official distributor synopsis)

After twenty minutes, I thought that only the great technical aspects would keep me in my seat, which has a much more cinematic "look" than a lot of feature films. Otherwise, it's a wannabe artistic pseudo-documentary statement that addresses absolutely nothing and rides a wave of very ambivalent feelings that I refused to share because these people don't actually live- or rather the film offers the question of whether they do. Actually, my best impression of the film arrived only in the movie theater after the credits had finished. The director actually said that the viewer should find their own thing in it, and about a third of the hall applauded him. When I was walking among the smokers in front of the movie theater, I only heard two things: "That was shit," or "That was a blast."
