Night has fallen, but the vineyard does not sleep. In the silent darkness, vines whisper, leaves quiver, and the earth still breathes. What the Wine Owes the Night is a visual and sensory poem guided by a spoken text, an intimate immersion into the nocturnal life of a vineyard. As humans withdraw, fleeting lights and unseen presences emerge. An ode to slowness and to the hidden rhythms of nature, the film reveals what the day conceals. Only at the very end does wine appear, not as a product, but as a liquid memory of the living night.
