The Night Is Fading Away

Pelu, a lonely projectionist in a dying cinema, loses his home and secretly moves into the theatre after being demoted. He turns it into a nocturnal refuge, hosting homeless friends and renting it to a camgirl, thereby reclaiming a sense of purpose. When his secret is exposed and the cinema closes down, Pelu defiantly breaks in to reclaim his home. A bittersweet ode to seventh art, which is not an escapist gesture, but rather a reminder of the inspiration that comes from togetherness and the essential need for community spaces, especially in times like these under the Milei administration.
