Directed by Sabrina Ildefonso and with a screenplay by the Directing class 14|16, “Choupan” tells the story of Lucas and Maria, two young people who get to know each other over the course of time. Lucas, a charismatic and energetic young man, when moving into his new apartment comes across Maria and her cat. Attracted by the young Maria’s curiosity and beauty, he gets closer to her and experiences a few bumpy moments until one day Lucas is surprised by a situation he never imagined could happen.
