Plot


La Cañada Real, Europe's largest slum on the outskirts of Madrid, has been without electricity for over a year. In the firelight, Toni, a 13 year-old boy, discovers that his best friend Nasser is leaving forever. Amongst Roma legends of a possible future, Toni looks for a way to stay connected to him.




Reception


Aunque es de noche made its world debut at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival Official competition and has since received positive reviews. Miriam Voigt described it in TalkingShorts as a "coming of age (which) becomes a metaphysical quest for reassurance", while Closeupculture cites it as their 7th best short film of 2023.
In their review of Cannes 2023 short film competition, Laurence Boyce highlighted in Cineuropa "the rawness and despair (of the film), balanced out by a vein of genuine tenderness in this evocation of friendship and the need to escape", whereas Marina Richter said Aunque es de noche "leaves a deep impression on viewers with its richness of imagery, authentic dialogues and life-near situations".
Since its world premiere, the film has been selected in over 75 festivals and academies around the world, including:




Sleepless City
