New Year’s Eve in Gropiusstadt: the Berlin cold seems to bite a little harder here. Amidst the vast apartment blocks, the bleakness of the grey concrete clashes with Luan’s colourful dreams. Yet on this night, as fireworks glow above the rooftops like stars of promise, several of his worlds begin to crumble. His great love has been given the chance to study acting in the US. Almost at the same time, his brother Tarik is on the verge of being deported. Luan faces the prospect of losing the two most important people in his life all at once. 

What begins as their last night together turns into a frantic race against time. Driven by fear, hope and a desperate longing to avert the inevitable, Luan stumbles through a world of neon lights, cold and blazing skies. As Tarik slips out of reach and each decision weighs heavier than the last, the line between dream and reality grows ever blurrier. Luan’s imagination begins to take on a life of its own, his dark visions crashing into reality with full force. An intense, atmospherically dense nightmare about love, loss and the question of how far one is willing to go to save what remains.
