In this exclusive interview, in collaboration with Kinótico, we speak with Maricel Álvarez, lead actress of "La llegada del hijo" (Surfacing), and directors Cecilia Atán and Valeria Pivato. The film is a standout in the New Directors section of the San Sebastian International Film Festival (SSIFF). Featuring Greta Fernández in a key supporting role, the film delves into the emotional rift between its two central characters. Maricel Álvarez returns to the festival, having previously presented "Piedra noche", and was recently seen at the Málaga Film Festival supporting "Conversaciones sobre el odio".

LA LLEGADA DEL HIJO (SURFACING)
Sofía, engulfed in a secret grief, must welcome her son back into her home after years in prison. This reunion offers both a chance to bridge the overwhelming distance that has existed between them since the time of the crime. Through silence, anger, and stunning cinematography by Sergio Armstrong, "La llegada del hijo" not only explores a fractured familial relationship but also reflects deeply on the boundaries of personal connections, loss, and ultimately, the complex freedom within motherhood and its consequences.
