La promesa - Focus
An evening among friends that will bring their secrets to light.

Five well-off friends gather once again to share a 90s-themed night with one starting point: the moment they first met as kids at the local scout group. The party is a success, but what was supposed to be a fun and nostalgic evening takes a dramatic turn when Paula, the host, confesses that the wine they've drunk is poisoned.
 Why did she do it? Why did she drink it too? What else does Paula have planned for the night?

What begins as a macabre joke quickly turns into a countdown, as Paula sets in motion a twisted and extravagant plan. As the night unfolds, secrets, resentments and betrayals explode, ensuring that nothing will ever be the same again.
The five friends are forced to face a series of trials that bring them back to their shared past at the scout group — and to ask themselves a deeply uncomfortable question:
What happens when you become the worst version of yourself?

A contemporary satire about happiness, greed, and how childhood memories can become a devastating mirror.
