The Night of all Nights
The Night of All Nights is a film about couples who have been married for 60 years. Spending a lifetime, literally together. It explores people who can manage companionship and who still wants to be with a person the chose forever ago to being with until the end. It is lees and less in our current generation that we see couples make it to their 60th anniversary. The Night of All Nights by Yasemin and Nesrin Şamdereli (ALMANYA) portrays four couples from Japan, USA, India and Germany. The film is a light-hearted and humorous experience, which reveals the secrets of long-term partnerships and love.
The four couples featured have very unique relationships as they discuss their lifetime together. A Japanese couple married through an arranged marriage, a inter-caste love marriage from India, an old-fashioned German couple and a gay couple from the United States forced to take unconventional measures to spend their lives together discuss relationships, children, sex, love and lifelong commitment. Four stories told with love and compassion at the forefront. This is a sweet easy film for optimistic people 🙂
