Year Zero 2023

Directed by Carlos Vásquez Méndez

In the countryside, in a hiatus of pandemic years, a child talks with her mother about how subjective our perception of time is, about the human attempts to represent the elusive shape of time and to understand its unmeasurable force. Year Zero is a film about the concept of time in different strata: one day, one year, one lifetime, and the massive cosmic timeline, where all the human time scale seems insignificant.
