Director Statement

Desvelo is a science fiction film set against the backdrop of the COVID pandemic, focusing on the end of the world through the eyes of a doctor who has spent weeks in the midst of the emergency. Virginia Rosales is a strong woman and an excellent professional dedicated to serving others, living with her husband and young daughter, whom she loves dearly. During Virginia's shift, a global paranormal phenomenon occurs, causing people to dream that the end of the world will happen within hours. However, Virginia has been at the hospital without sleep, and it is only when she returns home that she learns from her husband about what is happening.
Virginia spends the night awake, wishing from the bottom of her heart that the dream is just a dream. But in the morning, she discovers that the end of the world is real and has arrived. Desvelo is inspired by the films of David Lynch and the remarkable stories of Steven Spielberg; it attempts to approach genre cinema from a minimalist perspective, striving to maximize the use of sound. It is a story that walks between horror and science fiction with an intimate vision.
