ORIGINAL TITLE
Come la notte

Three Filipino siblings who are all domestic workers living in Italy reunite at the villa that the eldest sister has inherited from her recently deceased boss. Not having seen each other in three years, their reunion dredges up old feelings, lingering resentments, and the melancholic distance that has formed between them in the intervening years. In his strikingly photographed black-and-white debut feature, which premiered at the 2025 Berlinale, Liryc Dela Cruz juxtaposes the pains and hopes of the siblings’ bond to their almost eternal-seeming setting, the villa asserting itself as one of the film’s most crucial characters, a still, well-worn witness to untold histories.
