The Motive (2017)

1h 44m 2017 Mexico, Spain

Álvaro is consumed by a single ambition: to craft what he calls “high literature.” To fuel his art, he coldly orchestrates the lives and emotions of those closest to him, engineering their pain and turmoil as raw material for his writing. By playing puppet master, he manufactures chaos and heartbreak, then transforms the fallout into prose. His ruthless manipulation blurs the line between creator and destroyer, leaving him to confront the devastating consequences of his own design.
