The forgotten are destined to fade away. After years of silence, two fathers finally decide to express their regrets to their daughters whereas a crocodile seems to be fleeing a reality he can no longer face. (Sin Asunto) intertwines stories that share one common thread: the weight of the unspoken. A sudden departure, an accident: if the direct consequences implied by these situations are hard to identify, the uneasiness that they generate, can sneakily set in. It veils little by little the daily life of the individuals concerned, insidiously permeating it, before coalescing until it becomes all-consuming. These discourses of repentance indirectly shed light on the underlying conversations that pervade the existence of those to whom they are addressed, and certain aspects of their lives that have been erased for too long, made taboo for the sake of social conventions or by a refusal to confront them. 

The film illustrates situations that provoke an inversion of the relationships established within conventional family structures. The complex nature of these structures, and above all, the impact of the concerned individuals’ failure to acknowledge them forces us to wonder: how to build oneself up despite being denied one’s unique reality?
