To Be

About This Movie

To Be is a raw and intimate documentary that digs deep into the lives of Juana, Mar, and Eduardo as they share their harrowing experiences of abuse. The film has this stark atmosphere, almost haunting at times, where the silence between their words is as powerful as the stories themselves. Castillo’s direction is unflinching, blending personal narratives with a minimalist approach that lets the subjects’ emotional weight carry the film. You can feel the pacing is deliberate, drawing you closer into their worlds. The performances are incredibly honest—there’s a vulnerability that’s hard to shake off. It's distinctive not just for its subject matter but for how it approaches storytelling in a way that feels deeply personal and reflective.
