What Is Nightfall About?
The premise of Nightfall without spoilers.
A largely plotless, fado‑scored wander through gloomy cobblestone streets, zombie‑filled bars and fetid basements of a harbor town populated by German drifters and Portuguese guest workers. Unhappy couple Leni and Anton argue, split the night and each drift into the town’s underbelly. Everyone seeks love, but none finds it—though Leni picks up a trick.
