For the selection and play of brilliant actors, for the deep and rich script, for the amazing and heartfelt sound, for the great idea and original production!
Where are the awards, where are the numerous cries of moviegoers, where is the envy, delight, surprise, where, where?
Clear injustice! The movie is neither a masterpiece nor squeezes out a stingy tear, but still it is unique, every action in it organically fits into the intricate plot, every character is endowed with its unique charisma, every moment is tragic and funny at the same time.... this is the way it should be, this is the way to make such a movie!
The story is not at all intrusive, moderately philosophical, startling and brutal.
A crazy paramedic runs around New York City at night, saving people, without sleep or food, dazedly swinging from patient to patient. You can't save everyone, the job is getting to him, he's going crazy! His faithful friend is alcohol, his cure is deep sleep, no other way, or the unbearable nights will finally eat away at his sanity.
