SYNOPSIS A year. A boy. An instant. Hugo is a boy who lives anchored in the routine, focused on his tasks and responsibilities. Unable to look forward, he lets opportunities pass, stalling in the past. On the contrary, Cosmo is a free soul that lives without looking back, always going from one place to another no matter where. One summer afternoon their gazes cross by chance.

Un año. Un niño. Un instante. Hugo es un niño que vive anclado en la rutina, enfocado en sus tareas y responsabilidades. Incapaz de mirar hacia adelante, deja pasar las oportunidades, deteniéndose en el pasado. Por el contrario, Cosmo es un alma libre que vive sin mirar atrás, siempre yendo de un lugar a otro sin importar dónde. Una tarde de verano sus miradas se cruzan por casualidad. Es solo un instante, pero será el nacimiento de una relación que los hará detenerse por primera vez para vivir el presente. Un instante es una historia sobre la amistad, el amor y la importancia de los pequeños momentos que dan sentido a nuestras vidas.
