About the film
Santiago, a young Argentine actor living in Brazil, returns to his hometown after receiving sad news: the death of the person who first introduced him to acting. There, he reconnects with Ludmila, the daughter of the deceased and his first love, and is forced to confront a deeper, unresolved wound — the grief over his brother’s death. To Say Goodbye is a story of return, reconciliation, and redemption, where the past demands to be heard before one can truly move on.
