Transfigured Night

Directed by Leonard Lücke

A deserted, anonymous city: a boy on the threshold of adulthood meanders aimlessly through a never-ending night, always in search of new chance encounters, sex, true love, purpose. Above him, the universe sparkles picturesquely until it fades together with his ideals and the inevitable dawn comes. A film about the existentialist questions that every adolescent asks himself and the retreat from the uncomfortable answers, into the transfiguration of life, towards a poetic dream.
