Director: Olga Osorio
A grieving household learns to breathe again through the strange comfort of physics in "Jump!", a 2023 Spanish family comedy from director Olga Osorio.
What is Jump! about?
Brothers Oscar and Teo could not be more different: one is guarded and thirteen, the other eleven and endlessly curious. What binds them is the absence at the center of their house. Their mother, a scientist who spent her career chasing the theoretical possibility of wormholes, is gone, and neither boy knows how to carry that loss in front of the other. Teo starts hunting for traces of her research, half-convinced that her equations might still open a door somewhere. Oscar wants nothing to do with it, treating his brother's obsession as a childish refusal to accept what happened. Their push and pull drags in neighbors, a patient father trying to hold the family together, and eventually forces both boys to test how far imagination can carry real grief. The film uses its science-fiction premise lightly, more as a lens on sibling loyalty than as hard speculative fiction, and lets its 85-minute runtime stay focused on two kids figuring out how to need each other again.
Cast & crew
Tamar Novas and Marta Nieto anchor the adult side of the cast, while young performers Rubén Fulgencio and Héctor Carballo carry the brothers' dynamic, alongside Mario Santos, Irene Jiménez, Saúl Esgueva, and Mabel Rivera in supporting roles.
Context & significance
Osorio built the film around a small ensemble and a Galician setting, keeping the science-fiction element grounded in emotional stakes rather than spectacle. It arrived in 2023 as part of a wave of Spanish family films that use speculative premises to talk plainly about loss with younger audiences.
