Men Die Sooner

2026 · 78 min · Drama

Felipe returns to the family farm for the anniversary of his father's death, where his mother Sandra, brother Sebastián, and young nephew Sebas live. In the boy, Felipe recognizes a process he knows too well: the transformation of a boy into a "man." He watches Sebas absorb the rules of a world where shame is used to teach, cruelty is mistaken for affection, and pain goes unnamed. The emotional inheritance shared by the men in his family threatens to turn intimacy into violence.
