Synopsis
After years of separation, three Filipino siblings, all domestic workers in Italy, reunite in their older sister Lilia’s inherited villa. As the night deepens, their long-awaited reunion stirs old memories and unspoken grievances. The air is thick with the weight of what has been left unsaid over time, as the siblings navigate the delicate distance that has grown between them. In the stillness of the villa, they wrestle with an unnameable ache, their shared history unfolding in fragments, revealing the quiet yet profound marks of absence, longing, and fractured connection.
Director
Liryc de la Cruz is a filmmaker and artist born in Tupi, the Philippines, and currently based in Rome, Italy. In 2023, his first major solo exhibition, Il Mio Filippino: For Those Who Care to See, opened at Mattatoio in Rome, exploring themes of migration, visibility, and care work. He is a co-founder of the Il Mio Filippino collective—an alliance of cleaners, domestic, and care workers—and is also an active member of the Pescheria artists’ collective. His feature film debut, Come la Notte (Where the Night Stands Still, 2025), premiered in the Perspectives section of the 75th Berlinale and won the Golden Goblet Award for Best Director at the 27th Shanghai International Film Festival.
