In Argentina, as a solar eclipse approaches and logging ravages the forest, a few women and a boy must survive, clinging to hope amidst chaos. The film, which premiered in Cannes’ Quinzaine des cinéastes, explores the unsettling effects of environmental exploitation in Misiones. The main character reflects on existential uncertainty, blurring reality and fantasy. As a boy searches for his missing sister, the narrative highlights the tension between knowledge and ignorance, revealing deeper, unseen truths.

Born in Argentina, Agustina Sánchez Gavier studied film at the Academy of Media Arts in Cologne, Germany. Her graduation project, Our Own Shadow, stems from research for her first feature film, which is currently in development.

Available for online screening from 13 December
