The Similars

A frustrated miner waiting at the depot with his wife in labor, Ulises becomes the first to display the storm-induced transformations. His fear and stubbornness drive him to protect his unborn child, while his body and identity slowly fuse with others’ as the plot unfolds.

Pregnant and desperate for shelter, Irene seeks safety as the anomaly unfolds. Her attempts to reach safety merge with the group’s growing paranoia, and she eventually undergoes changes that test her resolve and maternal instincts.

The elderly depot clerk who becomes a focal point of fear, wounds, and eventual identity swap as his face morphs to resemble Ulises. He embodies the paranoia-sparking figure who challenges the group’s cohesion.

A cleaning woman who cares for Irene and others, Rosa experiences seizures like the others and ultimately becomes a casualty of the metamorphosis. Her presence amplifies the sense of vulnerability inside the depot.

A wary survivor who tries to leave the depot and ends up entangled in the consequences of Ignacio’s plans. He is blamed and arrested as the group’s actions spiral, highlighting how fear can undermine justice.

A protective mother figure who becomes entangled in the group’s struggle when Ignacio’s experiments push everyone to the brink. She injects Ignacio with a hypodermic needle, revealing a willingness to take extreme action to control the situation.

The catalyst with reality-warping powers who prevents the group's departure and literally reshapes the world around them. His entanglement with the aliens and his conscious doubt set the climax’s stakes.

An epileptic woman who mirrors Ulises as the shapeshifting threat expands. Her death and the final revelation tie memory to the group’s collective fate, and she helps expose Ignacio’s influence.
