Hi!
Post production goes well and we are going to release the movie in 2010. Now we have marketing material under work. Problem is one-liner, and we are looking for great ideas!
We have done many different versions, but none of them was good enought. So we need co-operation with one liner. Bring all your ideas, even if phrase don´t work, it might have something which could evolve to something totally different!
Also new synopsis is now ready. All comments about it are welcome!
Synopsis
And White Was The Night is a film about making choices in extreme situations. It examines how the choices we did or didn’t make in the past affect the present.
The film is set in the shady world of an international crime organization that reaches all the way from jungles of Colombia to suburbs of Finland and Russia. The story follows the fates of Antonio and Maria, two young Colombians, who come to Finland in search of better lives. Instead of future prospects they realize being caught in the middle of the organization’s internal struggle for power.
Finding themselves in a foreign country without friends, money or passports Antonio and Maria are forced to fight back to survive. They have to face the dangers of the underworld but also their own traumas and nightmares of the past. The events unfold during one turbulent day and a white summer’s night.
And White Was The Night crosses language, culture, and genre barriers creating an original and thought-provoking experience.

'flight from organized evil'
'flight to fight'
'when escape is not possible, confrontation remains'
'subject to the whims of organized crime'
'standing up to evil'
'standing up to the behemoth'
'standing their ground'
'standing their ground, then hightailing it'
'tangled in a web of violence and deceit'
'freedom obstructed by the mob'
...along those lines...
I really enjoyed the trailer and like the title very much.
I think the 'geography of evil' is a terrific theme.
The terrain's evil: no sacrifice ever amounts
to any good. There's a crisis of faith. Action.
And White Was The Night
'As it should be.'
A system will occasionally discard its parts.
Choices are sacrifices. / Every choice is a sacrifice.
In any system evil is inherent.
He who fights monsters..
The past and future are happening now.
Ever had the feeling your choices were made for you?
More.. favorites in bold.
You can beat a man. You can't beat the system. / You can be a man. You can't be a system.
Geography of evil (intertextual reference that kinda sucks though.. it works better in Finnish: Pahan maantiede, referencing Paha maa and Pelon maantiede)
And bright was the light
Into their hour of darkness
Make your choice
--
Nothing left to choose from
No choice means no chance
When you choose to lose
Being born means choosing to die
AWWTN - Evil deeds would be short and sweet. Or AWWTN - evil deeds of men
Was also thinking that would be nice to do something along the lines of the Google do no evil tagline. Maybe ATTWN - doing evil could work. Or the opposite AWWTN - do no good or ATTWN - doing no good
We have only seen the trailer and read the synopsis, so I'm sure you guys know if any of these fit or don't.

I like a lot an idea in phrase "Inside the system of evil…", but the phrase is not enought selling. Could there be some way to package same idea better?
The will to live knows no boundaries.
A past left behind, a present in jeopardy, a future unwritten.
Life gains perspective when looked at down a barrel of a gun.
