About the film
Set in the 1980s, the story follows two friends who spend the night in a meadow looking for UFOs while listening to the radio. Amid conversations, silences, and confidences, fears, doubts, and secrets they had never dared to share begin to surface. What begins as just another night turns into an emotional journey toward acceptance and the freedom to be oneself. Starring José Pastor (Bosé) and Ivan Lapadula (Manual para señoritas) and directed by Alberto Ortega, the short film combines emotion, humor, and sensitivity to offer an intimate and human perspective on themes such as identity, personal discovery, and the importance of feeling seen.
