🎥 Párvulos — Post-Apocalyptic Stillness, Survival, and Soup

This week, we’re reviewing Párvulos — a film that’s quiet, emotional, and weirdly nourishing. We first saw it at the Fantastic Fest in Austin, and then caught it again at the Calgary Independent Film Festival — and it hit just as hard the second time.

Also… we made soup during this review. Because in one of the film’s early moments, soup is shared. Slowly. Sadly. Quietly. So we honored the vibe by cooking vegetable stock while talking about one of the most grounded post-apocalyptic stories we’ve seen in a long time.

Párvulos is set in a world that's fallen apart, but it doesn’t rely on explosions or chaos. Instead, it lingers in the slow aftermath — focusing on small human moments, makeshift survival, and what it means to keep caring for others when the world gives up.

🥕 Found family in a ruined world🫙 Beautiful minimalism — sparse dialogue, tight framing🔥 One pot of soup = the emotional center of an entire scene

This isn’t high-concept apocalypse — it’s raw, lived-in, almost meditative. The camera lingers. The silences are full. The emotional pacing is so slow, it kind of hurts in a good way.

🎬 Directed by Isaac Berrocal — who, by the way, is absolutely one to watch💡 From lighting to tone, it nails “gentle dread”🎭 You feel like you’re intruding on something deeply human

We’ll say it: Párvulos made us want to take better care of people. Even if that just means handing them soup in the quiet.
