Night Is Fading Away

Pelu, in his thirties, is the modest projectionist of a municipal film club. Faced with the crisis, he must become the cinema's night watchman and over time, it turns into his new home. Little by little, a small community begins to take shape inside the cinema after closing hours. It consists of a group of "naranjitas" (informal parking attendants) who sleep there and, eventually, become his closest friends, along with Vale, a former classmate who uses the space to record OnlyFans videos. The precarious economic conditions in which they live are also part of a broader crisis that threatens to shut down the cinema and put their small community at risk.
