Where the Night Stands Still, dir. Liryc dela Cruz, Philippines/Italy 2025, 75 min., Tagalog, Italian, English with English subtitles

Book tickets

Three Filipino siblings, all domestic workers in Italy, reunite in their sister Lilia's inherited villa. As the night unfolds, buried grievances, shared memories, and long-held silences surface, testing their fragile bond.

A haunting but gentle meditation on generational displacement, inheritance, and the unspoken tensions that may (quite literally) fracture families. 

Screening as a part of the London Migration Film Festival.

London Migration Film Festival, which is holding its 10th annual edition from 27 November-3 December 2025, aims to challenge the narrow rhetoric on migration that often sees migration, and people on the move, framed in reductive and dehumanising binaries.
