Nightlight. Fire on the railroad tracks
Nightlight is a cinematic portrait of Cees and Hakki. A Dutch and a Turkish man who have been working together at night as welders on the Dutch railway for the last 16 years.
They travel to the most isolated locations of the country to weld together the broken and damaged parts of our railway infrastructure.
We experience the intensity of their hard physical labour, the estranged atmosphere of the dark and industrial work locations and we see the effect that this type of work has on their personal lives.
