Un mundo mejor

About This Movie

Un mundo mejor presents a haunting exploration of trauma and recovery. Víctor, who’s escaped a horrific kidnapping, finds solace in isolation, creating this almost suffocating atmosphere around him. But then, there's Santiago—a curious, buoyant child who disrupts Víctor's self-imposed exile. Their interactions are a delicate dance between despair and hope, beautifully capturing the complexities of human connection. The pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to truly feel Víctor's internal struggle, which makes his eventual transformation feel earned, not rushed. The performances, particularly from the young Santiago, inject a raw authenticity that enhances the film's emotional weight. It's one of those pieces that linger with you, challenging the notion of what it means to find a sense of belonging after trauma.
