Aux frontières de la nuit

2006 · ★ 7.0 · Drama

For twenty-four hours, Geneva becomes the living backdrop for a contemporary drama: by day, a place where life is good; by night, a refuge for the marginalized. Five characters will meet there, connected by the night shift of a pair of cops. Hans, a police officer nearing the end of his career and worn down by life, tries his hand at compassion, while Dan, his young partner, struggles between prejudice and discovering the other.
