MANCHA

Alex returns to his hometown after a decade away. His father, once a prominent businessman, now lives in a dilapidated house on the outskirts. Their reunion unfolds through silent dinners and awkward walks, where every gesture speaks louder than words. The father tries to hand over the keys to an old warehouse, but Alex refuses to accept them. This 2025 drama explores the chasm between generations, where the past becomes a heavy burden and the future remains an uncertain prospect. The director avoids dramatic confrontations, instead focusing on tension in details: how the men avoid eye contact, the long pauses at the dinner table, the unspoken accusations. The story unfolds against the gray palette of an autumn city, where rain blurs the line between memory and reality.
