Arapuca

2023 · 20 min

Overview
In "Arapuca" we follow the daily life of Marcos, a man who returns to his old home to look after his father, who is in the advanced stages of a degenerative disease that prevents him from seeing the reality around him clearly. Marcos is unable to communicate with his father and this invisibility is gradually corrupting him, mainly because it prevents him from finding answers to something that has been bothering him for a long time in their relationship.
