2025 NOMINEE – BEST DIRECTOR
Berta, a mature woman from the upper class, has been hiring the services of Alberto, a professional escort, for some time. One day, Alberto can’t make it, so he sends another escort, Hugo, a much younger and inexperienced guy from his neighborhood. Berta distrusts Hugo and insists he leave, but Hugo needs the money and wants to finish the job. Berta and Hugo embark on an emotional journey and, despite their differences, mistrust, and prejudices, discover they have more in common than they thought.
