When The Night Falls

About This Movie

So, 'When The Night Falls' is a documentary that really digs into the often-overlooked lives of the elderly. Directed by Daniel Zúñiga, it’s not just about aging; it's a deep dive into what it means to find purpose in a world that tends to sideline older folks. You've got José, the retired alcoholic, who's trying to navigate his own worth. Then there's Víctor, this quirky doctor chasing justice in a somewhat chaotic political backdrop—definitely adds a layer of intrigue. Braulio’s story is particularly poignant, dealing with loss and memory. The pacing feels almost meditative, letting you sit with their stories. It’s striking how the film captures raw emotions without any flashy effects—just real people and their struggles.
