Mathilda (Tai Elshorst) works in a club and at the same time takes care of little drug deals for her boss. Moni (Nina Hecklau) lives together with Mathilda and drifts from one one-night stand to the next. She always says good-bye to her lovers with the same ceremony at the bus stop. The quiet Pavel (Frank Wünsche) surprises his girlfriend who is cheating on him and loses his job as a photographer. Pavel and Mathilda meet in the club. Something happens between them. But what is it? How can one love when nobody wants to get hurt? "I’m in love", Moni confesses to Mathilda. – "You’re serious?!”

With fragile hand-held camera optics and cool pictures, "Over Night" is a study about love, longing and loneliness. A world in which agencies, clubs and single-apartments are described. In which the ordering of a whiskey has turned into a trick knowledge- and coolness-test.
