BEFORE THE NIGHT

1989: Willingly ignoring contemporary turmoil, Anne is absorbed in her reading and writing, tackling the world from a position defined by love and death. 2003: Maria, returning from urban guerrilla activities, is on the run in a country in the grip of a collective anti-terrorist hysteria. 1996: Daphne must confront an unbearable decision: she has to make a life or death choice concerning her twin brother, whom doctors were using as a guinea pig in appalling scientific experiments. BEFORE THE NIGHT? tells the story of three women living in different places and times but all strongly committed to opposing society in one way or another (through poetry, politics and particularly love). Their fates become intertwined in a large modern city, sometimes in the most surprising manner, and their voices become harmoniously united in a final dream linking space and time in a poetic and harrowing vision of life at the dawn of a new millennium.
