After a breakdown, 29-year-old classical flutist Pauli returns home. There he reconnects with his old classmate Iris, who draws him into a world of experimental music. Pauli, who has always sought perfection, is drawn to her chaotic energy and finds comfort in the messy, healing sounds. While A light that never goes out is full of humorous melancholy and shares the DNA of films like Silver Linings or Little Miss Sunshine, it offers a unique look on recovery and healing, avoids clichés and handles its subject with remarkable care.
