Mario Amarilla - Director Demo Reel 2024

Ernesto, a 36-year-old man from the interior of the country, driven by his faith in La Albirroja, sets off on a journey to Asunción. With a radio tied to his motorcycle and a lucky flag, he rides on as the entire country vibrates with the match that could see Paraguay qualify for a World Cup after sixteen years of absence. Along the way, he crosses paths with people and signs that shape his journey. A trip filled with emotion and hope, where every kilometer brings him closer to reliving an unforgettable story.

One summer by Lake Ypacaraí, Andrés, a young dreamer, spends the day with Sofía, a girl he met that same season. Both hold on to the intensity of the moment, knowing it will be their last. After Sofía leaves, Andrés realizes that what they shared, though brief, left a lasting mark on his life—that love, even if unfinished, was real and transformative.
