Preceded by the short film: NAUALLI
PÁRVULOS is the fifth feature by award-winning Mexican filmmaker Isaac Ezban and by the producers of HUESERA: THE BONE WOMAN (CIFF 2022).
The story takes place in a dystopian future, where three young brothers living in a cabin in the middle of the woods hide a dark, disturbing secret in their basement. Isaac Ezban has created a unique coming-of-age horror film that is equal parts brutal survival and light-hearted fun, with familial bonds and gruesome moments. This is all captured in a memorable and distinct colour pallet.
“I believe the horror and coming-of-age blend very well, as these stories are a great metaphor to what growing up and discovering another world means. This is not only a story about family, but a story about trying to save a family.” – writer/director Isaac Ezban
