Plot Summary of Fantastic Night
"FANTASTIC NIGHT (Phantastische Nacht)is the confession of a wealthy member of the aristocratic society of the 1910 Vienna. He'll describe how his life has completely changed since a peculiar night. During a 6 hours period, this man has experienced the real life by secretly stealing money from a gambler, by frequenting the underground places of Vienna and the cheap prostitutes of the Prater.
