Emiliano lives in a small mining town in Mexico. Motivated by a deep sense of justice, he searches for those responsible for the disappearance of his activist mother who was standing up for local jobs against an international mining company. Receiving no help from the police or judicial system, he finds a clue that leads him to the wealthy Aldama Family, where he meets a famous artist, his celebrity wife and their beautiful daughter. It’s not long before he has a job at their home and becomes determined to uncover the secrets beneath the surface.
When I made "Lost in the Night", I wanted to portray a young man consumed by grief and the need for justice in a country where disappearance has become disturbingly common. Following his search for the truth about his mother, I explored how anger, class division, and hidden violence intersect. The encounter between different social worlds allowed me to examine privilege and impunity from an intimate perspective. **The film ultimately reveals** how unresolved trauma can turn into obsession, and how truth itself becomes dangerous in environments built on silence. Through tension and moral ambiguity, I sought to reflect the unease of a society haunted by what it refuses to confront.
