»All the Night Upon Us«Of borders and inner barriers, the chronicle of a night, and the chronicle of a life: Every hour of an agonising night watch, more about a soldier's past and future is revealed.A soldier alone on a watchtower, guarding a border which has gained unsettling political relevance: His thoughts roam far back into the past when his life was still filled with love and happiness, before it all changed and he was left a broken man. The night is long, there's a storm, there's guilt, despair and turmoil ... and a face on the other side of the fence. A man on the run, in search of a better life - just like the soldier himself ... What will the soldier do?
