Synopsis

After almost two decades since Angela's murderer (his wife), Julien keeps coming back every night to the data and place of the disgrace: February 23rd 1997 in Albania, during the Mesopotam Pogrom. Julien, who once believed in journalism, stays awake every night. He cannot help thinking about one image stuck in his mind: a image from a video tape, phantasmagoric and deteriorated that gets him obsessed and won't let him sleep.

Twenty years after he decides to be back in Albania to look for some sense in her death and investigate his memories among all the documents, recordings, police records and paranormal activities around the event.

This is the second film of Marco Lledó Escartín, starring Julien Blaschke, Tinka Kurti and Antonio de la Cruz.
