Movie key art

Key art for When Are You Leaving?, where Boris Quercia humorously explores the dynamic between parents and a grown-up daughter reluctant to leave the “maternal nest.” The visual piece communicates this conflict through a warm, ensemble composition that blends comedy with family tension.

Retouching focuses on cast integration, soft lighting control, and a warm color palette that reinforces the domestic atmosphere. The composition was built using stock photography for multiple elements, while the animals were AI-generated and seamlessly integrated in post-production, with careful attention to scale, lighting, and realism. Each character contributes to the narrative through expression, while secondary elements add layers of storytelling, resulting in a clean and highly commercial key visual.

The story follows Patricio and Erica, a couple eager to enjoy their lives, if only their 32-year-old daughter would finally move out. Their increasingly absurd strategies, from suggestive gifts to AI advice, lead to chaos and misunderstandings.
