Dust (Spanish: Polvo) is a 2012 Guatemalan drama film directed by Julio Hernández Cordón.[1] It follows Delfina and Juan, a traumatized mother and son whose husband and father was a victim of Guatemalan government repression, as they become the subjects of a documentary made by couple Ignacio and Alejandra. Eventually, it is revealed that Juan and Delfina's neighbor--the target of harassment from Juan throughout the movie--is responsible for his father's disappearance.[2][3]

Reviewers found the movie's "pseudo-poetic" arrangement[2] to be "unnecessarily complicated".[3]
