CGiii Comment

Award winning?!? Who from?

Sound is integral to film-making, when you can hear the camera, that's not award-winning|!

Lights, camera, sound, editing...those are [just] the basics of film-making. Not present here.


Watch...

The(ir) Blurb...

Layla lives in the shadow of her own name ("night" in Hebrew ). She wakes up when the sun sets and everyone goes to sleep. This is where she feels alive, in the silent night. But this silence will soon be broken by the arrival of Pauline into her life.
