On any other night and at any other time it wouldn't have seemed possible. If it wasn't for the cameras silently rolling in just the right place at just the right time capturing the devastating and unprecedented scene, nobody would have believed it could happen in such a previously uneventful stretch of road; even those who were there would have doubted what they saw.
It's Christmas Eve in the city. The streets are alive with crowds, excitedly bustling below the thousands of fairy lights and panicking about tomorrow like they didn't know it was coming, whilst others are literally wishing it wouldn't. These total strangers have just one thing in common... that what had been the loneliest night of the year had now become the loneliest night of their lives.
Alone and afraid they sink deeper into their own private chasms until there appears to be only one way out. But when their very different worlds collide, mere coincidences mount until even the most cynical amongst them can only interpret the escalating events as fate and it's undeniable that miracles can exist, everything happens for a reason and whatever life's worth, it's at least worth living.
An inventive, poignant, witty and highly original masterpiece that refuses to be confined by the restraints of any conventional genre...
... at times as macabre as it is heartbreaking but ultimately so life affirming it could actually alter the way you look at the world; I defy anyone to remain emotionally unaffected.
