Aquí Aquí
In a place where everyone begins again without a past, Simón takes responsibility for David, a child he meets on the crossing to a new life. Driven by an inexplicable conviction, he sets out to find the boy’s mother and recognizes Inés as the right woman. She accepts, and an unlikely bond forms between them, where the idea of family is constantly reinvented. But as society imposes rules and treats difference as a threat, David resists being shaped and stands as its opposite: imagination and freedom, turning parenthood into an uncertain journey, a search without answers, where to love is also to accept not understanding.
