Tirana, where I live and want the story to take place, is a city breathing in chaos and filled with contradictions, in the middle of many social conflicts bound to explode at any minute. This couple is seeking acceptance in a place that continuously changes and challenges their identities. It is the story of a boy falling in love with a girl while fighting for survival. Struggling to find a way to learn how to love each other and themselves.
Anna is a vampire, but "After Dark" is not a vampire film. There will not be any fangs, crucifixes, or irresistible seductive powers. They are not immortal; they are a cursed extension of our society that cannot find where they fit in. They are flawed sensitive beings with desires and needs like you and me. Focusing on everyday things, like the struggle of living as a couple when one lives by day and the other one by night.
"After Dark" tries to answer a simple question: can we feel the same feelings towards each other when we are so different?
