The Waves by Patricio Ibarra

explores deep into the personal and collective stories of individuals trapped within a modern-day cult in London. Each member is seeking to "fix" something they believe is broken within themselves, while Gabriel, the central figure, wrestles with his memories and fears of becoming a whistle-blower. The Waves is more than a story of self-discovery; it serves as a political commentary on modern cults and the dangerous magnetism of belonging.
