First showing in Barcelona

Pablo, a small-time dealer, and his teenage sister Apolline have forged an unbreakable bond through their shared obsession with the online video game Darknoon. When Pablo falls for the mysterious Night, 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…

A terribly ambitious project within young French cinema, Eat the Night is an apocalypse film about saying goodbye to adolescence, but it is also a true love story, shot in the surreal atmosphere of Le Havre.
