Sônia lives with her husband Agenor and their young daughters in the interior of the Brazilian state of Tocantins. When her partner leaves home for a religious trip and a mysterious nephew unexpectedly appears, the painful situations that Sônia suffered during her childhood come to light, affecting her daily life as fear begins to take over every corner of the silent family home. Profoundly classical and constructed with few but forceful words, Eva Pereira's new film has the unusual ability to be both vital and urgent at the same time. The power and strength of The Sound of Night lie precisely in this welcome combination.
