The feature debut from director Michiel Blanchart (You’re Dead Hélène), Night Call has been praised by The Guardian for its “steady [beat] with a tight rhythm of tension and release”. The dark thriller is out now in the UK on digital platforms.
One evening, Mady (Jonathan Feltre)–a student by day, and a locksmith by night–sees his life turned upside down when he opens a wrong door and accidentally finds himself involved with organised crime. In a city racked by violence, he has only one night to find Claire (Natacha Krief), the woman who betrayed his trust.
The countdown begins…
