Read MoreSeven-year-old Sol spends the day at his grandfather’s home to throw a surprise party for Sol’s father, Tonatiuh. As the sunlight fades, Sol realizes that his world is about to change dramatically.
Referred to in Radio Dolin: Oscar 2024: The best films from around the world (2023). Tona is Sol’s father and is very sick.
He soon dies, and the film follows his family through the preparations for his farewell birthday party, as well as the party itself. The film focuses on Sol’s day and how he deals with that, as well as all the other families.
While the acting is excellent, the subject matter is very depressing, and the fact that the film is basically huis-clos (even the scene shot in the car shows nothing but the inside of the car) makes it a suffocating and uncomfortable experience. Obviously, the death of a loved one is a grieving experience, but this level of realism can hit you pretty hard.
People just sat in their seats as the final result rolled in, taking in the huge blow they had just experienced.
