A Las Escondidas

Nine year old Nina imagining figures

Short film - currently in post-production

A narrative short film capturing 24 hours in the life of a nine-year-old girl in Bolivia.

Nina, eager to discover her birthday surprise, begins to sense that her parents are not being entirely truthful about the world around her. She embarks on a journey to unveil their secrets, unaware that the true mystery lies in what is being hidden from her—and what she doesn't yet realize.
