A mysterious power failure in a small mountain town coincides with the disappearance of one of its most eccentric young residents. Mystery piles upon mystery as his family and friends search for him, fail, and ultimately try to forget about him, an undertaking that results in many unexpected, and in some cases bizarre, effects on the town's already peculiar community.
Overall Score

Category Breakdown
LGBTQ+ Representation
The film lacks explicit evidence of LGBTQ+ characters or narratives. The story focuses on a localized mystery involving an eccentric resident without addressing non-heteronormative identities.
Gender Representation
While the cast features female leads like Katy Haywood, the roles appear to function within a standard dramatic framework. There is no evidence of subverting traditional gender hierarchies.
Racial & Ethnic Diversity
The title suggests Latin American themes, but the setting remains an ambiguous mountain town. There is insufficient evidence of a non-white majority cast or high-agency characters of color.
Religious & Cultural Diversity
The narrative prioritizes absurdist themes and subjective morality over traditional values. The community's attempt to forget a missing resident suggests a critique of collective memory.
Disability Representation
The protagonist is described as eccentric, but there is no verified evidence of neurodivergence or specific disability. Any assessment of disability representation remains speculative.

AI Analysis
Todd Rohal’s debut is an idiosyncratic indie drama that prioritizes character-driven, experimental storytelling over mainstream tropes. The film functions as a localized study of a peculiar social ecosystem, focusing on the psychological reactions of a community to loss. While the film disrupts conventional mystery structures through its bizarre and unconventional narrative progression, it lacks explicit intersectional markers. The focus remains on existential themes rather than overt social commentary or systemic critiques. Ultimately, the work leans into the peculiar and the absurd. It lacks the visible representation of diverse identities required to achieve a higher progressive score.
