THE OTHER SON

MOVING, FANTASTICLY PLAYED COMING-OF-AGE FILM ABOUT MOURNING, LIVING ON AND BEING YOUNG

Young, free and into­xi­ca­ted, Simón, his brot­her Federico and his cli­que are on their way to a par­ty. But the exu­berant par­ty ends in dis­as­ter and not­hing is as it was: Simón is dead. How should Federico deal with this loss? How can he allow hims­elf to grie­ve when he has to be strong for his mother, who is lost in pain? And how can he put ever­y­thing behind him when his father keeps recal­ling the events of that night becau­se he wants to under­stand how this tra­ge­dy could have hap­pen­ed? Federico would pre­fer ever­y­thing to go on as nor­mal. Only Laura, his brother’s ex-girl­fri­end, seems to under­stand him. Slowly, the two grow clo­ser. This haun­ting coming-of-age dra­ma tells of loss, grief, fami­ly and the desi­re to sim­ply be young.
