From Mexican filmmaker Mauricio Calderón Rico comes a nostalgic exploration of life, love, and who you are supposed to be as told from the perspective of a young pyromaniac exploring his sexuality.
Synopsis:
Conflicted by his mother’s new relationship and his best friend’s crush on him, Bruno, a pyromaniac teenager, escapes from the city. He sets off on a journey in search of a girl he meets online who will push him to confront his father’s death and the doubts about his sexuality, but not before leaving behind all his fires.

What Critics are saying:
"Overall, All the Fires is a satisfying study of a young man who wouldn’t have learned anything about himself if he didn’t burn things around him." - Film-book.com
"Screened at Newfest 2023, this sensitively wrought tale unfolds in a deceptively organic way, going exactly where Rico needs it to but never feeling forced." - Eye for Film UK
"Headlined by Rojano’s buoyant central act and Rico’s nuanced screenplay, the film – despite not exclusively being about sexuality – strikes all the right chords." - Filmysasi.com
