Before

2010 · 90 min

A quiet, somber character study that immerses you in a young man's isolation and inner turmoil.

Overview
Nacho was a happy 21-year-old guy, with a great family, friends and girlfriend. But a year later he's not the same guy: he lives alone and he doesn't care anymore about anyone. He's lost and desperate, tortured by what happened a year ago.
