The Terrible Power of Fiction (2026)
Directed by David Loynaz
Drama · 15m
María Finojosa, wife of Spanish settler Juan de Cervantes, tunes into the fragile memory of the exact moment when her husband became obsessed with founding a town that would perpetuate his family name. In the middle of the 19th century, in the mountains of Costa Rica, María's memory of her husband's Quixote-like delusions, unravels like the reel of an old film, projected onto the persistent rain and the constant lurking of the cracks of fiction.
