Estación catorce
(Estación catorce)
Diana Cardozo | Drama, Fiction, Adventure
2022 | 88 minutes | Mexico, Uruguay
Over the course of just a few days, Luis discovers the world at the age of 7. Violence touches his environment and triggers the first encounter with death, the discovery of his father's fragility and the learning of masculinity in his vulnerable world.
Synopsis
Seven-year-old Luis is shocked: he has seen his neighbors get murdered while everyone remains indifferent and ransacks the victims’ home. His own father takes advantage of the situation and steals a sofa to sell it in another town. Father and son will then set out on a journey across the mountain, dragging the sofa behind.
Over the course of just a few days, Luis witnesses the mystery of death, the frailty of adults, and the wonder of time, all amid games. We witness his growing pains while life seemingly refuses to give way.
