Shades of Day

Shades of Day is a suspenseful Hollywood fable based on Fyodor Dostoyevsky's classic novella White Nights(considered one of the greatest love stories ever written), but here transferred to modern day Los Angeles. It's the first part of our Dostoevsky-L.A project, which also will include Crime and Punishment, LA and Idiot, L.A. The film crosses and re-crosses the thin line that separates tragedy from comedy. It introduces us to the enchanting Linda, whose life is centered around a planned reunion with her former lover Paul. Her plans change in remarkable ways as she encounters an extraordinary cast of characters, including a new lover and a movie producer who is pursued by the Mafia.
