The Burning Night is an experiment with dolls and actors, presenting an elderly homeless man suffering from complete memory loss as he pursues his doppelganger. All that he can find of the unknown man is an old suitcase with an id card, an audiotape machine and the recordings of his diary. As if under the spell of a daydream, the homeless man starts to take on the identity of his doppelganger: The homeless man dreams himself up. He dreams of the wife he has lost, he watches her together with her new lover. He dreams of old business trips and his past life.
