About This Movie

The film captures this bleak atmosphere so well, you can almost feel the weight of his regret. It delves into themes of failure and isolation, showing how alcohol becomes both a refuge and a prison. The pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to really sit with Alfredo's pain and anger. While the director remains unknown, the performances are striking—especially Alfredo's descent into bitterness over his lost family. It’s not flashy; it’s more about the emotional grit, the struggles of a man clinging to his past. Not easy to watch, but there’s something distinctly haunting about it.
