El mal del arriero

A weary barista-turned-wanderer returns to his rural hometown to care for ailing family ties, only to confront a web of secrets that tether his past to the present. When a mysterious stranger arrives, old loyalties fracture as painful memories resurface and threaten to undo the fragile peace he’s built. Amid sun-drenched landscapes and quiet, intimate interactions, the film scrutinizes forgiveness, consequence, and the heavy burden of truth. As loyalties are tested, the protagonist must decide what kind of future he can bear—alone, with others, or perhaps somewhere in between—while navigating forgiveness, loss, and fragile human connections.
