From a mysterious void, a guardian angel-like figure guides a man through his first romance.

“The Guide” by Felipe Vargas

A message from the filmmaker:
When we face the constant unpredictability of our daily lives, how can we not hope for something beyond ourselves? And what if that something was a curious little girl with big round glasses, guiding all of us through TV screens? Sometimes, life just works out, and sure, it could be luck – but what if it is a force of selfless altruism? A force of interconnection that goes beyond the tangible… into the eternal.

If those inspirations seem a but lofty, ultimately, I wanted to make a positive film, showcasing the value of compassion and love for others, whether it be in person or through technology. I wanted to show an underrepresented person holding huge amounts of power. I also hope to transmit that sense of awe-inspiring nostalgia one feels in the pit of their stomach when considering years and years of a relationship.
