This film is the result of a promise. In the middle of winter, Hernán
Talavera was sent to a small village, where he would have to remain
until summer. And Marta, who had just left Latvia to continue her
year-long relationship with Hernán, would have to live alone in a
strange country. Before leaving, Hernán promised to make something to
compensate for his absence: this film. Like an inventory of tiny daily
events, Canción en la noche celebrates the simple life, small things
and the passing of time.

This poetic documentary presents one woman’s journey towards finding
self-confidence, inner peace, and harmony. The filmmaker returns to
Croatia’s Lika region, where her family comes from. In the bosom of
nature, she tries to come to terms with the losses she has suffered in
her life, her illness, and her fear of the future. The film is
structured into six parts (prologue, spring, summer, autumn, winter,
epilogue), each linked to a different stage of human life. It is a
very open and intimate confession, framed in a mosaic of memories and
experiences, thoughts and feelings. The film is also therapeutic,
helping the filmmaker find the strength to fight. The film received
the Croatian Oktavijan Award for Best Documentary Film.
“Every fear comes with the reason. To cure my fears I merged secret
patterns and knowledge of my family with the cycles of nature. Through
this collision I revealed what is the human in beasts and the beastly
in humans.” Katarina Zrinka Matijevic Velican

The section "Cinéma in Transgression" offers middle or feature lengh films out of norm and order, between fiction and documentary, characterised by complex audio-visual languages, unpredictable associations based on unconcient, metaphorical and metonymical proceedings. In this way these films can express the complexity of reality.
