Night Across the Street is a film directed by Raúl Ruiz that tells the story of Don Celso, an elderly office worker who is about to retire. Don Celso is haunted by memories of his childhood and past lives, and he begins to have conversations with historical figures such as Beethoven and Long John Silver.
As Don Celso's retirement approaches, he becomes more and more obsessed with the idea of time and mortality. He starts to question the nature of reality and his own existence, leading to a surreal and philosophical journey through his memories and fantasies.
Night Across the Street is a visually stunning film that blurs the line between dreams and reality, exploring themes of memory, identity, and the passage of time. It is a meditation on life and death, and the ways in which our pasts shape our present and future.
