Entre Atardeceres / In Between Sunsets (Documentary, 2026)
What does it mean to grow old in a city? And what role do green spaces play in keeping us connected: to ourselves, to one another, and to the places we call home?
In Entre Atardeceres / In Between Sunsets, I turn my camera toward my parents, a retired physician and a German teacher, and their life together in Panama City. At the center of their everyday lives is a park they have come to love: a place to walk, rest, encounter others, and watch the day slowly disappear.
Through their rituals, conversations, and quiet moments in the park, the film explores the intimate relationship between ageing, urban life, and our need for nature. It asks how the spaces around us shape our physical and emotional well-being, and what happens when a city gives us places not only to move through, but to pause and simply be.
Part family portrait, part reflection on our relationship with the natural world, the film is also a plea for more green spaces and for a deeper sense of connection with our neighbors and our surroundings.
At its heart, Entre Atardeceres is a love letter: to my parents, to our beloved park in Panama City, and to the quiet possibility that even in the middle of a city, nature can help us feel less alone and remind us that we belong to something larger than ourselves.
