On a bachelor party, Lucas, a withdrawn and shy man, evoques the last memory of his first love

A mysterious death occurs inside a theater. 5 witnesses are interrogated in search of an answer that reveals a pagan rite of alchemy.

Told in a whisper, this quiet and diaristic film explores toxic masculinity through personal narrative, family legacy, and video games. El nombre de las cosas speaks aloud the unspoken and unspeakable, to give a name to traumas in order to heal them. Deeply poetic and disarmingly honest, director Diego Escobar uses his own story to address a widespread problem of inherited male aggression and all the ways families – and society – cope with and adapt to its toxicity.

A boy, a house and the beginning of a sweet, sweet summer.
