English musician Lenz (actor Kristian Marr) searches for his lover Madeleine, who has mysteriously disappeared, but tumbles into an amour fou with troubled, self-destructive Héléne (actress Ariane Labed). Grieving the loss of her infant son and stalked by Lenz, Héléne seeks oblivion in the murky subterranean world of a brutal sex ring. Despite the Night is a stark, elliptical and hauntingly spectral story about loss and jealousy with scenes of sensual abandon and raw carnality.
