Wege in die Nacht

Quinzaine 1999 | Feature film | 1h38

Walter used to be somebody, somebody with power and purpose, somebody driven by his conscience to do good – and now, society tells him he’s no longer needed. In his mid-fifties, trapped in a childless marriage, his only refuge is an old dream : that of a better world. Walter can’t sleep ; roaming around in the small hours with a couple of sidekicks, he’s still keeping things in order, with force if necessary. But when the day comes that he realizes that he’s no longer wanted, Walter explodes. Sylvia, his wife, is confronted by a dilemma : to betray her husband in order to save herself. Paths in the night : the powerfully lyrical story of the disintegration of love and the gradual breakdown of a man’s soul.
