Rodrigo Sorogoyen, last seen here with The Beasts in 2022, returns to Filmekimi with this powerful family drama, which premiered at Cannes. Esteban Martínez, a famous director known as much for his films as for a past full of violence and excess, offers his daughter Emilia a role in his new project. They have not seen each other in many years, and his real aim is to prop up her faltering acting career. They grow closer on set, but old wounds are about to reopen. Shot with a range of lenses and on 65mm, 35mm, 16mm, 8mm, digital and Mini DV, The Beloved grounds its emotional tension in its cinematic texture. In Sorogoyen's words, it is “a story about filmmaking. The story of a director and an actress. The story of a daughter and her father. A film about filmmakers, daughters and fathers. In the end, a film about all of us.”
