In the tropical mountains of Costa Rica, widower Domingo owns a piece of land which is coveted to build a new highway. When the contractors send in thugs to intimidate the community, the neighbors leave one by one, but Domingo refuses to give in - the ghost of his deceased wife returns to him in the mists.

Domingo and the Mist - a slow-burning comment on corruption pierced with a tinge of magical realism - comes to Haifa from its premiere at the Un Certain Regard section of the 2022 Cannes Festival. Ariel Escalante Meza presents a personal and political film, a story of memory and mourning, exploring the mist as a metaphor for grief, but also as a symbol of hope.

Filmography: The Sound of Things (2016).
