END OF SUMMER
Iberoamerican Short Film Contest 54 ED. 2026

Mexico 2025 16' Fiction
Beto (12) skips his first day of school to follow Ramiro (16), the apathetic older brother he deeply admires. A carefree outing on a scorching late-summer day is abruptly interrupted when the brothers catch their father being unfaithful. The weight of the secret fractures the family’s fragile harmony as Beto struggles with whether to remain silent or confront a painful truth.
