Quitter La Nuit

A film that takes a bracingly quiet and measured approach on a violent sexual assault.

One night, a woman in danger calls the police. Anna takes the call. A man is arrested. Weeks pass, justice is looking for evidence, and Aly, Anna and Dary face the echoes of that night that they can’t manage to leave behind.

Delphine Girard about
Quitter La Nuit

In Une soeur, we crossed the destinies of three characters brought together in spite of themselves by an attack: a man, a woman, and another woman on the other end of the line, who takes the emergency call from the first. Quitter la nuit finds them again and wonders about their future.
