"With 'after the night, the night', I aim to explore the different possibilities of experiencing intimacy. I want to question monogamy as a social structure which has enormously affected our human relations. Is there a difference between loyalty to another and loyalty to oneself? What do religion and private property have in common with monogamy as we know it today? I want to submerge myself in the spaces that exist for vulnerability, modesty and empathy within intimacy. I want to use my own body as a way of exploring how the internal expresses itself on the surface. And I want to find Naomi wrapped in an alternative time – one of whispers, of touch, of infinity found in the breath of a moment."

Sinopsis: Tonight Naomi's partner tells her he will return to monogamy with one of his recent relations. Confronted with the harsh reality of non-monogamy, Naomi heads out onto the streets of Amsterdam for a night of diverse intimacies, to remember why she committed to this kind of relationship in the first place. And while she looks, listens and talks her way through the city's cobbled streets, is the night getting longer, or is it only the lights from people's windows engaging in deep conversation with the moon?
