A Noite

(The Night)

A Film by Regina Pessoa
(1999)

A tale about a child and her mother. Two lonely lives with no communication. Loneliness gets the dimension of the night, mainly through the kaleidoscopic eye of the child. Dark is the night. Dark is her mother. Dark are the fears, the shadows, and the silence. And dark becomes all the universe when we feel lonely and helpless.
