In the atmospheric backdrop of Villa Bellini, a sprawling park in Catania, Italy, a young boy named Davide finds solace from his troubled home life.

Led by Rettore, a charismatic leader with a fondness for David Bowie, the group takes Davide under their wing, introducing him to a world of marginalized individuals who have created their own family within the park's walls. As Davide navigates this new reality and grapples with his past, he must confront the most difficult decision of his life – alone and without escape. Will he find the courage to face his demons or succumb to the harsh realities of life on the streets? "Darker Than Midnight" is a poignant and powerful drama that delves into themes of identity, family, and the human spirit.
