 "Shades of Day" is a suspenseful Hollywood fable based on Feodor Dostoevsky s the 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.
