Hugo 24
Luc Knowles / , 2026 / 93 min.
On the eve of his 24th birthday, Hugo finds himself at a turning point. When he faces losing his home, a single day turns into a race against time.

In Hugo 24, director Luc Knowles follows a young man caught between big dreams and an unforgiving reality. Hugo is unemployed, adrift, and haunted by a fear of abandonment, as his life slowly unravels: his mother is in prison, his relationship is falling apart, and his future remains uncertain.
When he is given just 24 hours before eviction, he embarks on an urgent journey through Madrid with his best friend, trying to hold on to what little he has left. The city becomes a reflection of his inner turmoil—a place where hope and despair coexist.
With raw immediacy and a sharp eye for a generation struggling to find its footing, the film captures the exact moment when you stop running away and are forced to grow up.
