Todos los incendios, Mauricio Calderón Rico (Mexico, 2023)

Bruno finds himself deeply unhappy. His father’s death, his mother’s new boyfriend whom he despises, and his best friend harboring unrequited feelings contribute to the angst that saturates his teenage years. Seeking an outlet, Bruno turns to setting things on fire and sharing it online. As he starts connecting with a follower, he impulsively flees from home to meet her, embarking on a transformative and surprising journey that unfolds in unexpected ways.
