The Moon Will Contain Us
by Kim Torres, Costa Rica, 2023, 18'
As the magical moon creeps into the twilight, different timelines entwine in the town of Manzanillo, located on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. The town’s youth and elderly populations unite and collide in a tale where the town is able to exist as it is: both beautiful and forgotten, mysterious and monotonous. The film employs a documentary style and science fiction elements to explore the complexities of growing up in a place like Manzanillo.
