In the midst of a silent divorce, Isabel (Nailea Norvind) leaves the city with her two children for her family's abandoned country house. She soon discovers that the sister of her housekeeper, María (Antonia Olivares), has gone missing. When Isabel offers her help, an unspoken pact to find the missing one is born between the two women. Meanwhile, Roberta (Aida Roa), the police commander in charge of the investigation, tries to get her son (Daniel García) out of the cartels. The countryside is mined with confusion and danger, but regardless of these circumstances, determination in the face of destiny subsists.

William Repass Slant Magazine A Bolañesque waking nightmare, the film insists that we come to terms with it rather than straightforwardly enjoy it. Rated: 3.5/4 Sep 10, 2023 Full Review Valerie Complex Deadline Hollywood Daily The writing and editing is wildly inconsistent. Feb 15, 2022 Full Review Michael Nordine Variety The view Gallardo takes is almost that of a bird’s eye, showing much from an emotional remove but revealing little beyond surface-level horrors and characters so numb to it all that we’re left with little choice but to feel the same way. Feb 14, 2022 Full Review Joel Copling Spectrum Culture Natalia López Gallardo’s feature directorial debut exists in a liminal space between clenched-jaw thriller and slice-of-life character study. Sep 21, 2023 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com There’s a crushing sense of hopelessness bordering on the misanthropic in this languidly paced tale as easy to embrace artistically as it is to recoil from emotionally. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 20, 2023 Full Review Filipe Freitas Always Good Movies Obscurity and pain are part of the scheme in a film incapable of offering a small glimpse of happiness whatsoever. Rated: 3/5 Apr 17, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
