Hours Alone (known in Latin America as Horas a Solas and in Spain as Horas en Soledad is a 2020 Mexican psychological drama short film, written and directed by Raúl Reynoso.
The film tells the story of HIM, a man who decides to withdraw into himself following a series of traumatic events. During his time alone, he confronts his inner demons and repressed memories, while loneliness and nature push him to the brink of sanity. The narrative employs an intimate visual style, with a minimalist atmosphere that intensifies the protagonist's inner conflict. The lead role is played by Roberto Morán Colunga, who delivers a deeply emotional performance, accompanied by the narration of Alan Krishna.
'‘’Hours Alone'‘’ was filmed entirely on location in the state of Aguascalientes, Mexico, standing out for its rural landscapes and the symbolic use of light and sound to reinforce themes of isolation and emotional resilience. Reynoso's direction has been praised for its ability to capture complex emotions with subtlety and precision.
The short film had its official premiere at the Guadalajara International Film Festival in 2020, where it was well received by critics and audiences alike. It was also selected to compete at international festivals such as the Toronto Independent Film Festival.
