Synopsis

Cozarinsky focuses Night Watch’s plot in one single night. That single night is the frame in which Víctor (a male prostitute with diverse night jobs, who depends on traffic, in various senses, to survive) seems to return to Buenos Aires after a long period of absence, or maybe a long sleep, to find a city that has become ghostly, poor, and maybe even dangerous. The journey from night to dawn –like in vampire stories– will reveal the world’s duplicity, its realistic and fantastic faces, without Cozarinsky ever showing the way he pulls it off with no special effects apart from a tone that changes slowly and imperceptibly. As in many of his previous films, in Night Watch the director focuses on a lonely character who is trying to find his fate, takes one step too many, and ends up caught in a spider web of relations that almost constitutes a family. The creatures of the night also suffer from loneliness.Cozarinsky focuses Night Watch’s plot in one single night.
