The story of a child and her mother, two lives that don't communicate with each other. The 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.
After started as an animator in the studio Filmógrafo run by Abi Feijó, she wrote her own film, A Noite (The Night). The technique she chose was engraving on plaster, which is long and laborious, but which gives an incomparable texture to the images. After three years of relentless work, this short film won awards in several festivals.
