After years of leading a happy marriage, Hector finds himself in a situation that will make him doubt and face his own prejudices.

In a forgotten village of the Yucatán, Lena, a 68-year-old widow, crosses paths with Leon, a 62-year-old Mayan guardian of nature’s secrets and spirits. Lena finds an unexpected companion in Leon. Despite their differences and seemingly opposite worlds, a deep connection forms between them—one that will bind them until death. In his new film, Germinal Roaux, one of the most unique voices of contemporary European cinema, delivers a philosophical story about aging and the decay of the body. Above all, it’s about solidarity and the small gestures of love that give meaning—and dignity—to our existence. True to the aesthetic codes established in his previous works, Roaux’s film, shot in black and white and unfolding with a ritualistic rhythm that mirrors the slow passage of time at the twilight of life, speaks poetically and with genuine emotion about the most essential bond that connects us: love.

Maggie, a psychologist haunted by the mysterious disappearance of her girlfriend, returns to a secluded coastal town in Mexico seeking answers. As she delves deeper, the seemingly tranquil village reveals a chilling secret lurking beneath its surface—one that threatens to consume her in a nightmare she cannot escape.
