NIGHTSESSION

Without specific reason, four guys drift through the nocturnal city of Munich on their skateboards. Why? ‘Cause that’s what they are up for! Their names are Jonas, Tom, Sergio, Pacel. Man, do they love their skateboards. They spend one night in Munich, city of riches, and take the bourgeois streets back, scratching their surfaces, rims and angles. Museum piazzas, garages and closed hardware stores are their playground in this nightsession.

NIGHTSESSION is a film for skateboarders, obviously, but equally for people who have never stood on these four wheels. Because it tells us about the pure, uncompromised fun that life can be – and delivers this feeling in a wonderfully laid-back way.
