Voices in the Night (Spanish: Las voces de la noche) is a 2003 Spanish-Italian romantic drama film written and directed by Salvador García Ruiz based on the 1963 novel Voices in the Evening by Natalia Ginzburg. Ruiz relocates the setting from an Italian village to a Spanish one, but keeps the setting in the 1950s.[1][2] The main roles are played by Laia Marull, Tristán Ulloa, and Vicky Peña.
