Reetta Somppi

Leena prepares a meal for two and leaves her cottage to pick up her husband Boris from the hospital. The nurse warns them of his condition, but they’ve already decided to spend the night together. In the cottage, they have dinner and try their best to enjoy themselves. As the night turns to early morning, we see a camera stand in the bedroom pointing towards them.

The dance film When the Night Falls tells the story of a woman fleeing the horrors of a collapsing society in the near future. Along the way, she encounters people on whose trust her entire future depends on.
