Drama

The Trevino family tries to overcome the irresponsible behavior of Don Cruz, an erratic father with numerous defects that contrast with his son Silvano, a young kid man that is incapable of passing judgment on his own father.

VIBE

A somber, character-driven drama exploring the suffocating weight of familial obligation and the destructive cycles of addiction. It's a gritty, slow-burn descent into a rural family's unraveling, marked by simmering resentments and quiet desperation.
