Hatchlings

Marta returns to her hometown after a decade away. Her plan is simple: sell her mother's house and return to the capital. But an encounter with her former teacher, now raising an adopted son, unravels her intentions. In her father's garage, she discovers old reptile eggs they collected together years ago. Their unexpected hatching becomes a metaphor for everything Marta tried to bury. This 2025 drama examines the fragility of family bonds and how the past insists on breaking through the cracks of the present. The film walks the line between realism and near-magical realism, where mundane details of provincial life gain symbolic weight.
