In it's 17th year the Latin America & Spain Film Festival (LASFF) is a cultural event dedicated to contemporary cinematographic productions from Latin America and Spain. It is also a non-profit event which aims to bring together Latin America, Spain and other New Zealand communities through the big screen.
The Festival is run by all the Latin American and Spanish Embassies resident in Wellington along with other Latin American Embassies based in Canberra, Australia. The Festival has become very popular and during the 2017 edition, approximately 6,000 spectators enjoyed the films.

Synopsis
A young painter named Daniel attempts to drown himself after repeatedly losing everything he has ever cared for. But as his final breath slips away, his dying mind grants him a final opportunity to relive the tragic events that led to his demise and change the course of his life. It’s within this vision that Daniel’s subconscious manifests itself in the form of his childhood self, in order to guide him through the pitfalls of delusion and show him the path to redemption.
