Cuando cae la noche

When the Night Falls
Documentary | Mexico | 2022 | 89 min | Spanish

Synopsis

The worldwide elderly population is growing fast and put aside. José, an alcoholic retiree, tries to feel useful; Víctor, a peculiar doctor, follows the presidential candidate in hope of finding justice for his cause; and Braulio, a kind grandfather, mourns his wife’s sudden death. The film explores the other face of Mexican masculinities that, in solitude, stop executing their societally imposed role as providers. It is an introspective journey into remorse, loneliness and death.
