SON OF A KILLER
Feature documentary

82 min · Sweden · 2026

A raw and intimate portrait of a man trying to leave a life of crime behind through music and boxing, while confronting deeply buried childhood trauma.

Tabaré carries a legacy shaped by violence, betrayal and institutional failure. At the age of three, prison became part of his world when his father was sentenced to life for double murder and his mother for complicity. Placed in foster care with his sister, the fragmented memories that remain point to neglect and abuse ignored by authorities. When his absent father reappears and a close friend is murdered, Tabaré is forced to return to his past in a painful search for truth, accountability and reconciliation.

Directed by Jesper Klemedsson Sotomayor & Sebastian Peña Rojas

World premiere at Gothenburg Film Festival January 25 2026.
