The Waning Sky presents a poetic and lyrical exploration of the complexities of desire, love, and the persistent pain of living with the consequences of our actions. The film tells the story of two lovers united by a love as strong as it is forbidden, haunted by the impending presence of their unfulfilled desires and the guilt that follows them. Their relationship is founded on a shared lie, a guilt that torments them both, and an unrelenting desire that threatens to consume them. They married young, without knowing the depths of love or passion, but when they met, they knew they had found their soulmate. Luis, an architect, and Ana, an engineer, are bound by a passion that has lasted for years, sustained by furtive encounters, declarations of love, conflicts, and guilt. They long to be together, but separation seems inevitable, and yet their love persists. Although they have tried to separate on several occasions, they are powerless in the face of the strength of their feelings. Their relationship is an enigma, an impossible dream, a mystery that persists despite the odds, a testament to the enduring power of hope, the human spirit, and the strength of true love.—Carlos Ruiz
