As Armando opens up about being a victim of childhood sexual abuse, the poignant tone becomes firmly set – or so we might think. The unflinching counsellor vehemently probes his clients on their woes – rewarding them with the “tough love” they’ve lacked for so long. Octavio, an over indulger in food and alcoholic is next on the firing line – unravelling his lack of faith in humanity. The short accelerates its level of poignancy as we uncover Carla’s grief after losing her 7-year-old son to a brain tumor. Disobedient throughout, Luis take’s the spotlight – unexpectedly turning his angst on the counsellor. Expect an unforeseen genre-bending climax that will leave your jaw on the floor.
