Sub Rosa – Short Film (2014)
Sub Rosa (2014), directed by Krisstian de Lara, is a gripping drama centered on a teenage boy named Alan, caught in the crossfire of a fractured household. Pressured and bullied by a father determined to force him into adulthood far too soon, Alan struggles to find his voice amid the turmoil.
The film delves into the tangled dynamics of his family life—most notably the fragile balance between his affection for his stepmother and the emotional battles with his domineering father. At its core lies a dark family secret and the looming tension of a possible death, pushing Alan toward a heartbreaking crossroads where he must choose a side.
A haunting, intimate portrait of a boy forced to confront truths no child should ever face.
