2026135 min6.9 / 10

A tense family drama about a legendary but damaged director and his estranged daughter attempting reconciliation through art, haunted by unhealed trauma.

The acclaimed film director Esteban Martínez is a legend both for his films and for his past marked by violence and excess. For his new project, he offers his daughter Emilia a role under the pretext of helping her with her stalled acting career. Living together on set will foster a closeness they haven’t shared for years, but it will also reopen old wounds that never healed.
