A missing child is the catalyst for a mother’s undoing (masterfully portrayed by Chilean actor Antonia Zegers) in award-winning director Matias Bize’s taut, single-take drama.
Told in real time, this palpably tense drama opens with two parents searching for their missing boy in a Chilean forest. Minutes earlier, Ana and Mateo had left their 7-year-old son alone by the side of the road as punishment for misbehaving. As they look for him with the help of a local police officer, the couple will face some uncomfortable truths about their relationship and their role as parents.
