Elsewhere at Night (French: Ailleurs la nuit) is a 2025 drama film, directed by Marianne Métivier and released in 2025.[1] The film centres on the interrelated stories of a group of women whose lives are changed by an impactful personal encounter.[2]

Synopsis

[edit]

A scorching summer stretches across the countryside and the city. In a lush landscape, Marie, a sound artist in search of inspiration, begins to question her relationship. The arrival of Noée, a young traveler, disrupts her routine and that of Yan, a solitary farmer next door. In the city, Eva, newly arrived from the Philippines, walks sleepless nights, caught between homes, while Jeanne, a master's student, contemplates walking away from everything. Between moments of doubt and brief connections, their worlds echo one another.
