APEGO — Costa Rica

Description
Ana, a Chilean-born architect raised in exile in Costa Rica, is pulled between motherhood, work and the possibility of another uprooting.
As a tempting career opportunity collides with family strains and unresolved memories, Apego traces the quiet negotiations
of love, identity and belonging. Intimate and deeply humane, it asks what we carry when we leave—and what, despite ourselves, we cannot.
