One of the film’s central conflicts is the arrival of Ezequiel, who returns from Spain. He represents the "other"—a cosmopolitan outsider who is nonetheless family. The subtitles highlight the linguistic divide between Ezequiel’s slightly more polished Spanish and the rural vernacular of Chabela and Miguel. For the viewer reliant on English subtitles, this distinction is often flattened, as both dialects are translated into standard English text. However, the subtlety of the translation allows the audience to focus on the subtext: Ezequiel’s inability to fit back into the rigid structures of his childhood home. The subtitles become the medium through which his alienation is felt. When he struggles to communicate his desires or his confusion, the English text often mirrors his hesitation, using ellipses and truncated sentences to reflect his internal disconnect.
As an international co-production between Argentina, Colombia, and Norway, the film is widely available on global platforms like Google Play Movies and festivals with English subtitles already integrated. Deshora | Belated - Berlinale
