llega la noche

This elliptical and sober film takes us through the territory of the subconscious and dreams by focusing on three stories (to keep us awake). The first, in a mountain village in ancient times where a mysterious cave opens during a storm, where they find stalagmites with painted faces. The second, in 1950s Poland: a little girl dreams every night of her mother, who died in terrible circumstances, asking her to find a piece of her body without which she feels incomplete. And the third, today, in which two young people spend a night in a remote country house under the weight of an old children's story of a headless lady.
