About The Life of Esteban
Esteban, a future Olympic swimmer, has grown up with a single mother and doesn't know who his father is. As he searches for his identity in this poetic short film, he determines swimming is a metaphor for life itself.
Directed by Inès Eshun, The Life of Esteban leans on a strong ensemble — Noah Mavuela, Mathis Mavuela, Joshua Tassin — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2017.
