Atrapaluz (2021)
Suncatcher
Costa Rica / Mexico ★ 21 min
A quiet, introspective girl is drawn by a mysterious light. Beyond the familiar edges of her world, she follows its glow to an encounter that blurs the boundaries between memory, identity, and technology. Weaving science fiction with emotional intimacy, Atrapaluz is a luminous meditation on transformation, connection, and the fragile permeability of the self.
