tercerosombra is a surreal and experimental short film about suppressed emotions, childhood fears, bodily anxiety and the fragile relationship between memory and identity. Through fragmented tableaux, symbolic imagery and unsettling transitions, the film follows an emotional rather than narrative logic. Built around symmetrical compositions, distorted time perception and dreamlike visual metaphors, the film explores the psychological weight of trauma and the silent violence of inner collapse. Each scene functions almost like a living painting, slowly revealing pieces of a fractured subconscious. The film combines absurdism, psychological horror and poetic visual storytelling to create an intimate but disturbing cinematic experience.
