THE NIGHT BELONGS to lovers
Directed by Julien Hilmoine, 2021
SYNOPSIS
A meeting. Somewhere. At night.
In a week, he’s getting married.
For years, she no longer believes in pleasure.
They meet. They play. They talk.
They desire each other.
As a gift – unconditionally.
Like a dance – on the edge of emptiness.
For one night. Only one night.
Their one night.

TRAILER
Julien Hilmoine
"I came to cinema through practice, shooting small films with friends at the end of my teenage years – thus discovering a form of expression that perfectly suited me. After a literary preparatory class and an Audiovisual BTS in Image, I joined La Fémis, specializing in Directing.
I directed several short films (Puisque tu pars in 2008, Les terres amoureuses in 2006, A chaque instant mourir in 2005), experimenting and exploring genres and ways of telling stories, often from a female perspective. I have always been fascinated by faces, the movement of bodies in space, and the turning points in characters' lives. In a quest for moments, fragile and powerful instants.
I was born in 1979, and I completed my first feature film, La nuit aux amants, in 2021."
