Night. A door swings open. A woman throws herself into a man's arms: she has her shoes in her hand. A café. A man looks at a woman; he stands up, so does she. Love at first sight. They throw themselves into each other's arms and lose themselves in a dance. A phone rings, a man approaches, out of breath. Grinding music sounds through the feverish night. A girl pulls a girl against him. A woman smashes open a door, storms up a flight of stairs. A man grabs a woman. Resistance. Two men separate. A violently emotional woman drops into a cab. In a city, on a hot, tumultuous summer night, men, women, children, gripped by desire, capable of anything, allow themselves to be carried away by their frenzied feelings, sometimes to the point of madness. As long as the night lasts. Toute une nuit: a film about the night, the night as experienced by people in Brussels in many different ways.
