NUNCA ES TARDE (2026). Written and directed by Eva Cano; produced by Carmelo Vázquez (El Semáforo Producciones). Runtime: 5’57”. This drama short film delicately addresses the themes of death and saying goodbye from the perspective of a mature woman who unexpectedly finds a new opportunity to move forward with her life.

Ana, a woman in her fifties, leads a solitary, routine-filled life, though she strives to keep going. Haunted by a past event, she is tempted to make a drastic decision, but a phone call changes her mind, leading her to believe she deserves a reprieve—a second chance, however fleeting. The film is an intimate journey unfolding over the course of a night out. The chemistry between the actors drives the story; their glances, shared laughter, and comfortable silences reveal an unbreakable connection that brings the protagonist back to life. Through heartfelt conversations and tender gestures, she rediscovers a human warmth she thought was lost.

The evening does not magically solve all her problems, but it ignites a spark of hope, reminding her that the world still holds beauty. The film is suitable for audiences aged 13 and older due to its sensitive subject matter. The team comprises screenwriter, director, and lead actress Eva Cano; actor and producer Carmelo Vázquez; and assistant director María Izquierdo.
