The screenplay for NIGHTLIFE is a black comedy made up of three stories that take place over the same night in the same city. The parallel tales intersect and deflect each other. All three stories are implicit depictions of betrayal. Each features characters whose unfaithfulness causes great pain. Reckless actions by the main characters lead to extreme situations, thus forcing critical decisions to be made. All three stories are connected with hospitals.

The first story deals with a young couple. She is about to have a baby. Just as before death, there needs to be a confession before birth. The happy ending of this story gives the whole film an optimistic tone.
The second story recalls a high-profile Slovenian scandal concerning bullmastiffs. It alludes to the involvement of politicians and higher-ups in bizarre sexual games. It ends with a painful social hypocrisy.
The third story is a black comedy about Martin, a depressive whose wife left him six months ago. He just now finds out she has another man in her life. Martin attempts suicide all night long — it is a cry for help.
It is significant that each character is multifaceted, paradoxical, and contradictory — even to the point of absurdity — just as human nature is also contradictory. Life is relative and, thus, paradoxical. All three stories have an open ending — morning brings no redemption. In reality, the heroes greet the dawn with even greater problems. Metod doesn’t know who’s the father of “his” child. Lea doesn’t know what her husband was really doing. Martin survives, but living for him is clearly the biggest penalty.
