Can a flower bloom in the dark?

A coming-of-age film that follows 13-year-old Xavi. In the dusk of his Catholic confirmation, Xavi must face the rites of growing up when a creature in his closet begins to torment him, all while navigating the pressures of family expectations and the tumultuous journey of self-discovery.
