Filmmaker Juan Sebastián Quebrada in attendance.

Federico and his brother Simon enjoy their teenage years until Simon’s tragic death from a balcony fall at a party. Amidst his family’s turmoil, Federico tries to maintain normalcy while struggling to grieve, and finds solace in bonding with Simon’s girlfriend, Laura. Juan Sebastián Quebrada’s auspicious second feature is an emotionally charged, semi-autobiographical coming-of-age drama that delicately delves into themes of grief and hope.
