THE FILM

Sub Rosa is Krisstian de Lara's thesis film, a project he has been developing since May of 2012. Krisstian strive for a story that could be complex yet subtle and full of emotions. “I definitely wanted to make a serious story where characters faced complex situations due to their actions. I wanted to step out of my comfort zone and do something I have never attempted to do before.” While Sub Rosa address some sensitive and taboo topics it does so in a professional and tasteful way. After all, this is a character driven story. It's a film made to tell a story that has not been told before.

Sub Rosa is the coming-of-age story of a male teenager who has grown up under the shadow of his authoritative father. Over the course of a single summer, events transpire which transform this boy into an adult who challenges his dad in very unorthodox ways.

"Most people see 'love' as something beautiful, Sub Rosa shows the audience how love can be beautiful while still having a very disturbing side to it. Alan doesn't only get into this situation for love but also for pleasure and of course...revenge." -Mario Temes
