National Premiere of Ludwika Paleta-Led Film “Después” at the 2024 Guadalajara International Film Festival

This Independent Film Sparks New Dialogues About Motherhood and Its Consequential Decisions.

New York, New York – In “Después,” highly acclaimed actress and one of the most recognizable figures in the Mexican entertainment industry, Ludwika Paleta, plays Carmen, a mother grappling with the incomprehensible death of her only son, Jorge (Nicolás Haza). Carmen’s journey to understand her son’s probable suicide challenges her understanding of motherhood. As she revisits her past – passions, identity, decisions, as well as the breakup with Jorge’s father – she confronts the loss of her own identity.

Reflecting on her experience, actress Ludwika Paleta remarked, “This film was a deeply personal journey, almost as if I were telling my own story, exploring a fine line between fiction and reality.” Ludwika has been recognized with numerous awards and nominations, including a nomination for the Ariel Award for Best Actress in 2006 for her role in “Rumbos Paralelos” (directed by Rafael Montero) and a Silver Goddess for Best Actress in 2014 for “No sé si cortarme las venas o dejármelas largas” (directed by Manolo Caro). Her work in television has also kept her a prominent and influential figure in the entertainment industry, with roles in popular series such as “La Querida del Centauro” (Telemundo), “Rubirosa” (Clarovideo), “Madre solo hay dos” (Netflix), “DOM” (Prime Video), and “Bellas Artes” (Star+).

“Creating ‘Después’ has been an incredible journey of exploring the depths of human emotion and self-discovery,” says Sofía Gómez-Córdova, Director and Screenwriter. “This film delves into the complexities of loss, identity, and the unspoken bonds within a family. I am grateful for the support of our talented cast and crew, whose dedication has brought this story to life. With ‘Después,’ we aim to spark conversations about motherhood and the personal struggles we all face, reflecting the broader societal changes happening today.”

“Después” is a production of Brujazul in coproduction with Calouma Films, Simplemente, and Disruptiva Films, with production support from EFICINE, FOCINE, Filma en Jalisco, and private funding from Moonfall Productions and Toushka Ventures.

Executive Producer Moonfall Productions is dedicated to supporting influential films both in the United States and globally. “Releasing ‘Después’ at the Festival Internacional de Cine en Guadalajara (FICG) is a significant milestone for us at Moonfall Productions,” says Bernardo Enciso, Executive Producer of “Después” and Founder & CEO of Moonfall Productions. “This prestigious festival provides an ideal platform to showcase influential films that resonate both in the United States and internationally.
