The Night
Directed by Regina Pessoa
Produced by Filmógrafo, Instituto do Cinema, Audiovisual e Multimédia
A haunting animated meditation on the vast, isolating distance between a mother and child, where emotional abandonment becomes cosmic darkness.
It's the story of a child and her mother, two lives that don't communicate with each other. Is that loneliness that sometimes reaches the size of the night. Dark is the night. Dark is the mother. And dark becomes the entire Universe when you are alone and abandoned.
