What’s being screened
«Hugo 24» is the film featured at the XVII Novembre Negre on 27 November 2026 at Casal Jove Port de Sagunt. It tells the story of Hugo, a 23-year-old who hasn’t quite grown up and, on the eve of his 24th birthday, is suddenly forced to face adult life head-on.
What «Hugo 24» is about
The protagonist of «Hugo 24» is unemployed but attends a job interview at a real estate agency—a dream job that would let him wear a suit, something that reminds him of his absent father. Hugo carries a deep fear of abandonment: his mother is in prison, his girlfriend is leaving, and his family is falling apart.
The plot kicks into high gear when his landlord threatens to evict him in 24 hours. From that moment, a race against time begins, marking his definitive transition into adulthood. The story blends a generational portrait with the tension of a countdown, in line with the festival’s title, Novembre Negre, now in its seventeenth edition.
Where it’s taking place
The screening will be held at Casal Jove Port de Sagunt, a youth-focused venue that aligns perfectly with a film centred on entering adulthood, employment, and housing.
