Please note that this film is in Spanish, with Dutch subtitles.
Sebastian is an ordinary man in his thirties devoted to his loyal dog and working in a multitude of temporary jobs. As he moves fitfully through adulthood, he navigates love, loss and fatherhood – until the world is rocked by a sudden catastrophe, unsettling his already turbulent life even further. Photographed in stark black-and-white imagery, and full of contemplative metaphor, writer-director Ana Katz captures Sebastian’s midlife coming of age in slices of life both specific and universal as he struggles to adjust to a world that is perpetually changing – and might be nearing its end.
Ana Katz, Argentina, 2021, 73 min. Spanish spoken, Dutch subtitles.
