La Notte

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
The film opens with a quote from Louis-Ferdinand Céline's ''Journey to the End of the Night'': "Traveling is very useful: it makes your imagination work, everything else is just disappointment and trouble. Our journey is entirely imaginary, which is its strength."
