When handsome and charismatic Pablo (Juan Pablo Olyslager) arrives at his affluent family’s home, everyone is eagerly awaiting the return of the prodigal son, devoted father and caring husband. A pillar of Guatemala City’s Evangelical Christian community, Pablo’s announcement that he intends to leave his family for another man sends shock waves through the family. In the deeply personal follow-up to his landmark debut Ixcanul, Jayro Bustamente once again sets his sights on an individual caught between two irreconcilable worlds. Winner of the Best Latin Film at San Sebastian, Temblores catapults Bustamente to the front ranks of Spanish-language directors.
