"Edge of the Night" is a poetic nocturne to Tallinn, a city where time bends under the weight of endless days and impenetrable nights. In winter, darkness falls as early as 3 PM; in summer, the sun refuses to rest. Between these extremes lies a world unseen by most—a city that breathes, dreams, and pulses with life when the rest of us sleep.

Directed by Vladimir Loginov, this documentary takes us on an intimate
journey through the shadowed corners of Tallinn’s nights. From the raw
cries of new life in a maternity house to the quiet solitude of someone
sleeping on a park bench; from the last tram groaning into the depot to
the chaotic hum of an emergency call center. Fireghters on alert.
Swingers in secret clubs. An airport dispatcher guiding invisible planes. A
blind musician playing in a city that cannot see her back. Even animals in
the zoo, caught somewhere between slumber and wakefulness. An invitation to see Tallinn as you’ve never seen it before: not asleep, but dreaming.
