Winner: Ibero-American Award
Film Festival 2025
Sujo's childhood is marked by devastating events that test his morals. When he becomes a teenager, he faces a choice between repeating his family's history or breaking free from an unwanted heritage. This hopeful tale explores alternative paths to violence – challenging, uncertain, and, even if only slightly, possibly achievable.
