The queer French romance-thriller follows Pablo (Théo Cholbi, PASSAGES), a small-time drug dealer, and his teenage sister Apolline (Lila Gueneau, THE FANTASTIC JOURNEY OF MARGOT & MARGUERITE) have forged an unbreakable bond through their shared obsession with the online video game Darknoon. When Pablo falls for the mysterious Night (Erwan Kepoa Falé, PASSAGES, WINTER BOY), he gets swept up in their liaison, abandoning his sister to deal with the impending shutdown of their digital haven alone. As Pablo’s reckless choices provoke the wrath of a dangerous rival gang, the end of their virtual life draws near, upending their reality.
EAT THE NIGHT is produced by Agat Films & Ex Nihilo, Juliette Schrameck (THE WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD, COLD WAR), and Mathieu Verhaeghe (DEERSKIN) and Thomas Verhaeghe (DEERKSIN) for Atelier de Production. Olivier Père, Managing Director of ARTE France Cinéma and head of ARTE France’s Cinema Unit —with producing credits that include BACURAU, TITANE, and HIGHT LIFE, and more— co-produced for Arte France Cinéma, and Tristan Vaslot associate produced.
