What happens

Nocturne è un cortometraggio muto francese del 1927 diretto da Marcel Silver. Ambientato nel sud della Spagna durante la guerra del Rif, il film racconta la storia malinconica di una donna malata che attende il ritorno del suo amante, un ufficiale partito per il fronte. Ignara del fatto che l’uomo si trovi nella stanza accanto alla sua, la donna vive in un’attesa silenziosa, sospesa tra speranza e sofferenza. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
