Around midnight, a young couple (Kate Morgan, Niels Schneider) and their transvestite maid prepare for an orgy. The guests begin to arrive: The Slut (Julie Brémond), The Stud (Éric Cantona), The Teen (Alain Fabien Delon), and The Star (Fabienne Babe), each named with a gleeful sense of absurdity. They all have their baggage, sexual and otherwise, which will get unpacked over the course of the film.
„A slut, a star, a stud and a teen all walk into an orgy... If you think there’s a punchline to this joke, then you haven’t yet seen YOU AND THE NIGHT (LES RENCONTRES D’APRES MINUIT), a visually exquisite, occasionally hilarious, and intermittently trying meditation on sex, love, dreams, death, camp and kitsch that marks a promising feature debut from French filmmaker Yann Gonzalez.“ (The Hollywood Reporter)
