Synopsis

Our take

The sixth feature from acclaimed filmmaker Julio Hernández Cordón finds him working on a story created by the film’s lead actresses. Delving into the director’s recurring topic of wandering youth, Lightning Falls Behind captures the frenzy of being a teenager in a fresh and invigorating fashion.
