Lukas is a disillusioned loner in his 30s who has achieved nothing. Oliver is a nightclub owner on the brink of bankruptcy. Both out alone at the pub drowning their respective sorrows, Oliver and Lukas decide to spend the night out together after an initially awkward meeting, because they had anything better to do. What follows is a revelatory evening of bar-hopping, deep discussions, and uncomfortable truths, as these two men not only get to know each other but come to a better understanding of themselves in the process.
Starring Alexander Lincoln, Jack Brett Anderson and David Bradley.

“Like a queer variation on Before Sunrise, Calvert’s ephemeral romance believes hope can be found in the most unexpected places.” - Michael Blyth
“A Night Like This is an intense and touching film that, despite approaching the queer genre, deserves general attention. The excellent screenplay by Diego Scerrati, the great performances of the two protagonists and the lively and sensitive direction by Liam Calvert are an exciting mix.” - Francesca Trina
