Everything Else Is Noise

After captivating audiences at the Berlinale, the New York Film Festival, and TIFF, Everything Else Is Noise unfolds entirely within a single apartment. Rosa, a contemporary music composer, agrees to give her first television interview at her colleague Tere’s apartment to keep it secret from her husband. What begins as a simple professional conversation turns into an absurd and comic portrait of rivalries and affections among three women – Rosa, Tere, and Tere’s daughter Luisa – interrupted by power outages, a constantly barking dog, and the visit of a famous composer. As the interview unravels, family and artistic tensions surface, revealing, with humor, both the fragility of prestige and the strength of complicity.
