Modesty

2007 · 106 min

A quiet, suffocating drift through a family's unspoken secrets, where loneliness lingers in every room and nothing quite resolves.

Drama
Starring
Nancho Novo, Elvira Mínguez, Natalia Rodríguez
Overview
Pudor is about intimacy, about the desires, obsessions, secrets and fears that we keep hidden, even from those we love most. The characters in this story are a man who is going to die, a woman who receives anonymous erotic notes, an older man who is offered a last chance at falling in love, a teenager struggling to handle the doubts generated by puberty and a small boy who sees ghosts. As is the case in many families, in spite of living together, all the characters in Pudor are alone.
