Leonardo Brzezicki : 2013
Night
The six friends of suicide victim Miguel gather to clear out his things, guess his motives and celebrate his life. Miguel was absolutely obsessed about recording sound. Now that's all that is left of him, plus some clothes, equipment and boxes on a farm where he spent his last days. His six friends stay there to pack everything. In the meantime, Miguel's recordings stream day and night from the loudspeakers that are set up everywhere in and around the house. Miguel's ex, Pedro, is in the worst state. He can't cope with the sorrow and neglects his new friend Juan. Miguel's best girlfriend Violeta has to watch as her former lover Matias seeks solace by the newcomer Laura. And there is the nameless girl who is ignored by everyone. Rudderless twenty-somethings who are really just discovering life already have to discover what mortality is. A psychological drama in which the dividing line between present, past and future becomes increasingly vague. Leonardo Brzezicki's directorial debut is a haunting, sensorial journey through memories, images and sounds. The film premiered in competition at International Film Festival Rotterdam 2013.
