Julián

Julián is scheduled for release on June 23, 2026. The film centers on a boy named Julián who travels to New York City to spend a summer with his Abuela — a woman he barely knows. Their time together is marked by uneasy conversations and new experiences as Julián moves through the world his grandmother inhabits.

Through Abuela's stories and the environment of her Brooklyn neighborhood, Julián begins to reckon with questions about his identity, gender expression, and his family's history. The narrative spans across the diaspora, moving between the Brooklyn streets and imagery drawn from the depths of the ocean, framing the story as an intergenerational exchange. The film engages themes of heritage and self-discovery within a Latin diaspora context.
