Days of Light (2019): cast, story & where to watch
2019 · Film
Released in 2019, Days of Light is a drama film directed by Enrique Pérez Him, running about 87 minutes. “What would happen if there was a power shutdown in Central America?” — that tagline sets the tone.
What it’s about. This beautifully integrated, multi-threaded narrative seamlessly interweaves six stories set in radically different locations across Central America, ranging from the tropical forests of Guatemala to the skyscrapers of Panama City. When a solar storm leaves the region without power, myriad dramas unfold over the course of five days during which all conveniences of modernity are stripped away. In Costa Rica, a pastor and his daughter worry for the future of their church, while in El Salvador, a grandmother and grandson make an arduous journey into the city. A husband and wife reconnect in Honduras, as a young couple nurses a mysterious stranger back to health in Guatemala. Meanwhile, in Nicaragua, a young woman prepares for her quinceañera and in Panama, a housekeeper grows exasperated with her demanding employer.
Who’s in it. Days of Light stars Zenith Gálvez as Romelia, Cloty Luna as Mayra, Joel Davaz as Ezequiel and Gustavo Gomez as Roque, among others.
