Troubled by his stutter, a young performer will do whatever it takes to deflect responsibility for his voice, even if it means renouncing his dream.

About the director

Eduardo Ecker is a screenwriter and film director from Buenos Aires, Argentina. As a stutterer, his filmmaking practice engages with a poetics of disfluency, embracing the beauty inherent in verbal diversity, fragmented narratives, and liminal national spaces. He is particularly drawn to the Romantic notion of Stimmung, exploring the attunement of self, mood, and voice as an act of both individual and communal reclaiming. He holds an MA (Hons) in Philosophy from the University of St Andrews and is currently pursuing an MFA in Screenwriting & Film Directing at Columbia University.
