Luz Nocturna

Kim Torress

Ale, a seventeen-year-old woman, lives in rural Costa Rica with her two younger siblings. The film visualises the burder of motherhood and projects this onto Ale. Through landscapes fueled by silence, resentment, and brief moments of joy, Ale will try to protect them from the seething truth, that their mother has left them and is probably not coming back. 

This short film has been part of the programme Shorts: Growing Pains at the Movies that Matter Festival 2023.
