Brief History of a Family

Wei is an apparently ordinary teenager who attends high school without any upheavals and shares life with other young people. Among his classmates stands out Shuo, a reserved and mysterious young man whose solitude does not go unnoticed by Wei's attentive parents, who make a decision that will change the course of their lives.

Moved by compassion and an intuition that borders on instinct, they decide to gradually welcome him into their family unit, offering him support, affection, and a stability that seems to be lacking in his life. What begins as a gesture of kindness soon transforms into a coexistence filled with uncomfortable silences and evasive glances.

When a tragic and sudden event shakes their lives, the fragile harmony is shattered, unleashing a wave of contained emotions. Long-hidden secrets, unhealed wounds, and unresolved family tensions surface uncontrollably, forcing each family member to confront not only the mystery surrounding Shuo but also their own limits and contradictions.

In this tense and emotional family portrait that involves a difficult portrait of the reality, nothing is as it seems, and good intentions are not always enough to repair the irreparable—a painful truth that the characters of 'Brief History of a Family' must grapple with.
