What happens

Long Day's Journey into Night (Chinese: 地球最後的夜晚; pinyin: Dìqiú Zuìhòu de Yèwǎn; lit. 'Last evenings on Earth') is a 2018 Chinese drama film written and directed by Bi Gan. Despite the film's English-language title, it is unrelated to the 1956 Eugene O'Neill play of the same name. The film premiered at the Un Certain Regard section of the 2018 Cannes Film Festival. It is notable for its final 59 minutes, which consists of one unbroken long take in 3D. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
