Roti

"Some loves are too special to ruin with a relationship." A vagabond actor traveling through a strange city collides with his long-lost love-- an illegal immigrant and cleaning lady he met back home in Hungary 25 years ago. "One Night Only" is a meaningful, socially relevant film, shot in New York City. With a Hungarian/Canadian cast and crew and a female director and DP, it truly defies borders and breaks the boundaries of traditional filmmaking. "I loved the film. It’s raw and tender, lovely acting, beautifully paced. Simple. In tone some of it reminded me of Herzog’s amazing Stroszek." -Luke Davies, Oscar-nominated screenwriter (Lion, Beautiful Boy)
