Film Overview

Original Title: Época de plagas
English Title: Plague Season

In a world where the balance between nature and humanity has been lost, a young girl is confined to her home, caring for her dying mother. Outside, droughts and plagues relentlessly ravage the planet. As the girl confronts the weight of illness and grief, the insects regain their primitive instincts. In this fragile ecosystem, life’s balance unveils its darkest and most macabre nature.
