Republic of the Union of Myanmar as the country is called nowadays has been sealed of from the world by a socialist inspired military regime for many decades.

But the 2010 elections have brought a fresh wind and slowly the country opens up to the world.



Burmese Nights (An equivoque on "Burmese days" the novel by George orwell) is a search for the changes that become visible everywhere in the country. It is also a search into the lives of common people whom after dark spend their time in the same way as they do since decades.
