Eat the Night stars Lila Gueneau and Theo Cholbi as siblings, Appoline and Pablo. Having apparently been abandoned by their parents, Pablo supports the two of them by selling drugs while the two share a bond over a video game called Darknoon. The game is pretty much Appoline’s obsession. It became her world when she and her older brother began playing together and it became a source of comfort and continuity amid the chaos of their day to day lives.
Thus, when the makers of Darknoon announce that the game is coming to an end in just mere months, it sends Appoline and Pablo on separate paths. While Appoline remains obsessed with the gaming world, Pablo looks outward. After being assaulted while selling drugs on gang turf, Pablo is cared for by Night, a kindly hotel employee. Pablo returns to see Night the following day on the pretense of offering him a job producing and selling drugs with him.
