A LOOSE END

A Loose End follows a man who returns to face a past he thought he had left behind. As familiar relationships and tensions resurface, he is forced to confront unresolved emotions and the consequences of past decisions. Through an intimate and understated lens, the film explores memory, reconciliation, and the fragile ties that continue to bind us to what remains unfinished.

UN CABO SUELTO

“A Loose End” sigue a un hombre que regresa para enfrentarse a un pasado que creía haber dejado atrás. A medida que resurgen relaciones y tensiones familiares, se ve obligado a confrontar emociones no resueltas y las consecuencias de decisiones pasadas. A través de una mirada íntima y sobria, la película explora la memoria, la reconciliación y los frágiles lazos que nos mantienen unidos a aquello que permanece inconcluso.
