LA ANATOMÍA DE LOS CABALLOS (2025)
In 1781, Ángel Pumacahua, a defeated revolutionary, flees to his home in the remote heights of the Peruvian Andes. From space, a meteorite embarks on the same journey, creating a massive crater in his village. When time catches up, the 21st century welcomes him, and his revolution no longer matters. Eustaquia, a young llama herder, is searching for her missing sister, whom everyone in the village believes was crushed by the meteorite. As Ángel helps Eustaquia mobilize the authorities to start the search, both will question what revolution means in today’s world.

TODOS MIS VIAJES SON VIAJES DE REGRESO (2026)
(Post-production)
All My Journeys I’m Returning is a delirious adventure that flows like the waters of a river, weaving between the present and the past, the tropics and the north, the desire to return to a lost home, and the necessity of losing what you have. An eclectic journey in search of the missing Gaspar de la Noche, a Colombian poet who was lost forever in the north of Sweden, and whom some believe capable of granting the return of those who have been lost.
The film begins with a rarefied trip along the Magdalena River in the early 19th century, passing through Korpilombolo, the hidden and nocturnal town where Gaspar was lost, and eventually reaching Bolombolo, Colombia—a place where its inhabitants try to escape on a train that was never completed, due to the
danger of disappearing under the river’s waters. All my trips are journeys back to a lost time, back to an imaginary place, back to ourselves.

It takes Sajjad and Alishah four hours to climb the Bamyan peaks behind their village carrying their skis, and just four minutes to glide to the bottom again, as their families and neighbours look on incredulously. Yet when they get a chance to compete to qualify for the Winter Olympics in South Korea, the first time Afghanistan is represented in the sport, in their wake they leave hope for a brighter future, as local children strap wood to their feet and tumble down the snowy banks in imitation. Filmed over four years, Where the Light Shines paints an uplifting and refreshing portrait of Afghanistan as you haven't seen it before, as the two sportsmen face up to the difficulties of creating opportunities in a country that for generations has only seen war.
