Last Sun of the Night

Last Sun of the Night

Science Fiction, by Matteo Scarfò, Italy, 2017.
After a devastating war that involved Italy and Europe, the Italian government decided to create safe zones where thousands of people previously selected by social class, gender, religion, economic conditions, family, age, must be deported to safeguard the values ​​of Western society. In one of these zones, Zone 13, there are only three people who live in a huge apartment building, where nothing is missing but everything is in ruins. The building seems like a large magnetic monolith, a sort of primordial god that does not let them leave, they feel it as a safe womb. The narrative develops on two levels: the present, set in the Zone, and the life of the past in the previous world, these two parts slide on the same narrative line, the two are dependent on each other. What is beyond the fences of the Zone? Someone will try to find out.

The last sun of the night is a dystopian film, it is set in a not too distant future, it could also be our present. The film is set after a new world war, in one of the safe areas created to deport people destined to be "representative" of the values ​​of Western society. The characters have a dark relationship with their past and the film unfolds through two different timelines, past and present, which for us is the future. Both are like a single thread of the same story.
