Nuestra Sombra

Germany, Argentina / Fiction / 20' / 4K / Color / 2024

Nuestra Sombra explores the eerie transformations of individuals amid environmental devastation, set against the backdrop of a solar eclipse over Misiones, Argentina. As the protagonist grapples with existential uncertainty, unseen forces seem to reshape reality itself. Blurring the line between the tangible and the supernatural, the film reflects on humanity’s decay and its consequences.
