Nobody for everyone
When Eduardo tells Irma that Juan does not exist, it all seems like a simple misunderstanding. But then Juan insists that Irma is not real, and Irma claims that Eduardo does not exist either. In this psychological thriller, each character calls another’s existence into question, pulling the story into a fractured reality where no one can be sure who is telling the truth.

Nobody for Everyone was born from my interest in uncertainty, memory, and the fragile way we define the people around us. I wanted to tell a story in which reality does not break all at once, but slowly, through conversation, contradiction, and emotional tension.
What interested me most was the idea that each character could deny the existence of another, creating a chain of doubt in which no one feels completely real or completely safe. In that sense, the film is not only about mystery, but also about absence, loneliness, and the need to be recognized by someone else in order to feel that we exist.
My intention was to create a psychological thriller that feels intimate and unsettling, where the conflict is built less through action and more through perception, silence, and the instability of human connection. Rather than offering clear answers, I wanted the film to leave the audience with a lingering question: if reality depends on who sees us, what happens when no one agrees on who is truly there?
