Clara, 28, a Québécoise elementary school teacher, meets Nikolaï, a 31-year-old Ukrainian artist, at a rave in a loft. Soon they find themselves passionately embracing in Nikolaï’s apartment. They make love. After Nikolaï falls asleep, Clara begins to rummage through his notebooks, takes a bath and, before leaving, photographs him with her cell phone. He wakes up, angry to see her depart so savagely, and launches into his own form of interrogation. He begins to itemize what he already knows about Clara, despite not even knowing her last name. He recounts how she kisses, the marks on her body… As the night progresses, Clara and Nikolai bare their fears, regrets, disappointments and feelings of alienation. An exploration of sex, intimacy and love, Night #1 is a film about despair, individualism and the anxieties of belonging. It exposes the potential of even the most fleeting encounters.
