About This Movie

The film dives deep into César's internal struggle, caught between familial expectations and his own sense of self. It’s a quiet drama, but it resonates with an intensity that lingers long after the credits roll. The pacing is contemplative, allowing viewers to really sit with César as he navigates through the tension of the day. Performances are raw and genuine, capturing the uncomfortable nuances of being true to oneself in a world that often demands conformity.
