You’re placed on the passenger seat in a rowboat in the middle of the ocean. An old man, Joseph, is in front of you rowing. He tells you about the night he escaped the German soldiers, and how he fought to bring his loved ones with him. As his story unfolds the sea dissolves, streets and people emerge and you sail silently through his memories. But as the dawn begins to rise, the question is; who will make it to the END OF THE NIGHT?

End of Night is a cinematic VR experience of the tormenting memories of a Jew’s escape from Denmark to Sweden during WWII. The audience will experience on first hand the trauma of fleeing and the guilt of surviving – when loved ones are left behind. End of Night is an artistic mix of advanced technologies such as photogrammetry and volumetric video blended together into a collage-like 3D universe. The elements are realistic in their expression, but at the same time fragmented as scraps of a painful recollection.
