Minor Chronicle

About This Movie

So, Minor Chronicle, right? It’s this intimate drama that really digs into personal loss and the weight of memories. Set in a small town just south of Mexico City, it captures the director’s own experience as he confronts his father's illness during that heavy second wave of COVID-19. The tone is raw and reflective, with this almost suffocating atmosphere that makes you feel the tension in the air. Pacing is deliberate, almost meditative, letting you absorb the emotional weight. Performances are heartfelt, not overly dramatic, which gives it a subtlety that I find compelling. It’s distinctive for how it intertwines personal narrative with broader societal themes. Definitely a film that lingers long after watching.
