Clear Nights (2024)
Two siblings face their problems and undergo a profound inner transformation at a time when they both rediscover themselves. Lidia struggles to cope with her newborn baby: she can’t handle the expectations, doesn’t recognize her body, and distances herself from home and her boyfriend. Her brother Lauro works in a funeral agency. Divorced with a son, he grapples with accepting his bisexuality. Though the siblings rarely saw each other, their shared challenges bring them closer on a journey of rediscovery and profound inner transformation. The light at the end of the tunnel isn’t an illusion; the tunnel is.
