Night without dawn

Synopsis: "One night in the winter of 1943, in a city in the West 'enclosed between its running waters and its sleeping waters,' but which, like all others numb from the occupation, 'has lost its halo of light as fallen saints lose their aura.' A group—six men, one woman—received an order by radio: a man to execute. A messenger is there to supervise. He is an activist and a man of action, serving a cause and a soldier in an army. One burst of gunfire is enough. Everything is simple. For him. But these committed individuals, as united as they are different, remain human. They have chosen but retain their freedom. They want to understand and justify themselves. They have their 'chains of life': their social environment, their family, their prejudices, their feelings. The drama unfolds. It doesn't come from the heavens; it is within them. Paternal love clashes with duty, friendship yields to fear, a great passion is born, intensifies, awaits the dawn. But at dawn! You will follow the author on his 'journey to the end of the night'."
