A young man searches for his true love and finds himself sucked into the dark and cruel underworld of the porn industry. DESPITE THE NIGHT is about a bizarre love triangle that revolves around the former affair between Lenz (Kristian Marr) and Madeleine (Ariane Labed). Lenz has returned to Paris because of her and is trying to get closer to the passionate woman again. But Madeleine, who now calls herself Hélène, searches for the ultimate borderline experience in radical forms of sexual submission, each of which takes place on the thin line between life and death. "The aesthetic is explicitly psychoanalytical and takes on the night of the soul and the mind. It is a double-edged monstrosity to which Grandrieux invites us, a breathtaking beauty in every shot.
