Black Night
SYNOPSIS
Ishak (35), a wandering musician from a small mountain town, is haunted by a lynching he was part of 7 years ago as he returns to his town to say farewell to his dying mother. Facing the other five perpetrators—his childhood friends—as well as the community and government officials supporting them, Ishak struggles with the guilt weighing upon him. However, the bigger the crime is, the stronger the silence gets since everyone has blood on their hands.
