NIGHTLINE
Crime/Thriller (Feature)- Czech Republic
A bittersweet tale around a live interview radio broadcast that changes the lives of several innocent people. After lying low in the USA for almost 20 years, Radek makes a surprise visit to his home city of Prague. Tech savvy, he manages to avoid revealing all forms of his identity and location to tell his story on a late night radio phone-in show hosted by ambitious young journalist Eva. Eva bends over backwards to accommodate him and becomes embroiled in his mission to track down a young mother called Eliska. Eva has no idea that she herself is part of his plot from an event two decades ago. Czech law gives a 20 year time limit for all crime, including murder. Detectives on the late shift hear the interview and start to build a case, but they only have a few hours left before the crime is deemed un-punishable and a fierce struggle for time and justice begins.
