BEGO

Everyone has an existential crisis every once in a while. They are absurd, tragic, and most of the time, a conversation with ourselves. Bego, a dancer with a broken leg and daddy issues is trying to simply take a shower but her life is a mess and the water won't get warm.

Director Biography - Pilar Malo
