Don't open

Caught in the midst of a pandemic, Pablo plunges into a devastating insomnia that drives him to confuse sleep with wakefulness. Amid pills, loneliness, and voices calling to him in the dark, he begins to be haunted by a presence that makes him believe it is his loved ones. The warning is clear: 'Do not open.' But as the paranoia grows, Pablo will discover that the real threat does not come from outside.

Written & Directed by José Luis Moctezuma "Mocte" (Mexico)
