All These Sleepless Nights

Synopsis

After a breakup with his girlfriend, Kris sets off with his friend Michal in search of new experiences. Stylishly capturing the romantic yearning, drunken debating, aimless wandering and self-indulgent philosophizing of youth, Michal Marczak’s highly constructed documentary/fiction hybrid is a moody collage of a year’s journey through house parties, parks and clubs of Warsaw.
