Undergrowth (2026)

Maleza

In the short film *Maleza (Undergrowth)*, the quiet tragedy of rural abandonment ignites into something far more consuming. This cinematic piece zeroes in on one of the most devastating side effects of empty countrysides: wildfires. Through a haunting visual narrative, it turns its lens on the undergrowth itself—a suffocating tangle of weeds born from the exodus of rural life. As the story progresses, this wild overgrowth doesn’t just smother the land; it invades the very frame, devouring the image until nothing remains but ruin.
