Eternity (2018)

Eternity soberly portrays the abandonment of two elderly people in the Andean highlands, confronted with destitution, cold, and the inexorable passage of time. The film centers its attention on the rupture of the filial bond: the promised son never arrives, and the parents are left alone, praying to their gods. This moral conflict is presented without embellishment or easy solutions, showing the concrete consequences of absence: solitude, physical deterioration, and a hope that slowly fades. The work invites reflection on the duty of care towards elderly parents and on how the decisions of children affect the dignity of those who raised them. Although the context is culturally Andean and spirituality appears as a resource for resistance, the underlying message underscores the importance of family fidelity and intergenerational responsibility. There are no elements that distort human nature nor promote views contrary to common sense. The tone is austere and respectful of the real suffering of the protagonists.
