This film tells the story of David, a music teacher who, after the death of his mother, must take responsibility for his twin brother Amador, who has cerebral palsy. The film explores the tensions between independence and dependence, as well as the guilt, frustration, and rediscovery that come with learning to care for one another. Told with intimacy and realism, the story follows two brothers—nearly strangers after years of distance—as they attempt to rebuild their relationship within a context shaped by functional diversity.

Inspired by the personal experience of the director, Carlos Villafaina, the film is an honest portrayal of disability that eschews stereotypes. Festina Lente is a work of social cinema that invites reflection on how we understand the autonomy of people with functional diversity. Rooted in realism and emotional depth, the project aims to connect with both general audiences and individuals living with functional diversity, telling a story of vulnerability, autonomy, and love.
