The Punishment

Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, is the cliche. Like all clichés, it's true and worthless at the same time. Because yes, what to do with it? It is usually used as an incantation. Don't worry, it happens to all of us, things done don't take a turn.

That's all meant to be sweet, but some mistakes change your life or the lives of others forever. Stop thinking and you're doing enormous damage. One wrong remark and a friendship has been destroyed. Don't pay attention behind the wheel for a moment and you'll kill someone. Just to name the worst. Then those clichés are no use to you. Everyone makes mistakes, but only you made this one.
A car drives on a provincial road through a forest. The camera is in the back seat. In the front, a woman sits behind the wheel and a man sits next to her. The atmosphere is tense. The man wants the woman to turn around. It has taken long enough now, he says. A little later, she stops, an old bin passes them and she turns around. Clearly, reluctantly. They're fighting about their little boy. The woman just kicked the boy out of the car for punishment and drove off. To pretend they were going to leave him behind. That will teach him. El Castigo is Spanish before punishment. #film #thriller
