Plot
Black and white images shot at night A camera roams the streets of Montreal in search of sounds smells and sensations From the first frame NIGHTS stakes its ground as a poetic nomadic experience an openended essay about the countless inner worlds that inhabit the bigcity night Testimonials and confessions gradually emerge from a photographer to a truck driver from a baker to a blind woman who had to learn to see the world differently Their experiences overlap but are unalike We have the feeling of living different lives against the grain of normality and we are not alone in this Diane Poitras achieves nothing less than the reconstitution of a parallel community
