Rubaru

Charles, a young man recounts his life story. In his audio recording he shares the beauty and the ugliness of his life. How there can be such joy and such despair in the same moments? As he journeys through his story it becomes evident that something is tormenting him.

Directed by Marco Zambrana, Rubaru leans on a strong ensemble — Nathan Mizzi, Sarah Sawyer, Matthew Rhodes — 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 2021.
