Drama

A crazy father old before his time, a tyrannical, sick mother, a sister who disappeared four years ago and me, Erell, who films everything, all the time... A fine family portrait. I live in the same town I've always lived in. You're born here, you die here. And between the two, there's nothing to do except hang out with my buddies, Gabin, Javier and The Major. One night, my sister Sarah reappears. The pieces of me are put together again.

VIBE

A deeply personal and unflinching look at fractured family dynamics. It feels like sifting through old home videos, uncovering buried truths and lingering regrets. The atmosphere is heavy with unspoken history and the quiet desperation of small-town life.
