María José Freire

The life of Berta Muller, a successful writer, is shaken when, at the peak of her career, she is exposed in the media for plagiarism. Far from taking responsibility, he will deny the accusations and try to justify himself ridiculously, even if it means exposing all his darkness.

As night falls on Brussels, Maria remembers her friend Cristianny, now deceased. Like her, Cristianny was Brazilian and an undocumented domestic worker. She recounts the sexual assault her friend endured and the struggle they waged together, hoping for justice. This film is a prayer and a song that, together, rise until dawn. For Cristianny, for Maria, and for all the others.
