The Agonist (2026)

Diagnosed at birth with spasticity, Sebastián has spent a lifetime navigating a nervous system that constantly fights against his movements. Rather than retreating from his reality, he picked up a camera, turning his personal archive into a visual chronicle of romance, brotherhood, parenthood, and extended kinship. Time, however, exacts a heavy toll. As persistent physical suffering escalates past endurance, a highly experimental cranial intervention starts to seem like the only viable path forward. The procedure carries significant danger but promises a complete physiological overhaul. Beyond the promise of relief lies a deeper conflict: when presented with an operation capable of fundamentally altering his biology, does he actually crave that kind of metamorphosis? And if the treatment succeeds, will the person left behind still feel like himself?
