When a couple of thirty-somethings let one of their mothers over the threshold, they have no idea that he has just found himself in a chamber purgatory. A peaceful life is slowly turning into a chaotic wreck. Valerie, a fistful of sixty-somethings, is an energetic diva who, step by step, conquers not only the space of the apartment but also the minds of its inhabitants. The creeping home invasion is gaining momentum, certainties are shaken, the boundaries of privacy are eroding. Are mothers and mothers-in-law always right? Do they mean well with us? And isn't that why they are sometimes the biggest monsters? On the thin edge of black humour and home invasion horror, Tomáš Pavlíček and Jan Vejnar's film She Came at Night develops a situation that each of us has experienced in different variations
