Synopsis
Deep in the Mexican countryside, a community is plagued by the constant threat of looming violence. Here, three women from different social classes—a maid, her wealthy employer and a police officer—become tragically affected by a missing-person case related to cartel crime.
Editorial
Startling stories of cartel crime and class tension in Mexico are deftly, elliptically interwoven in this exceptional debut from Natalia López Gallardo. Previously an editor for Lisandro Alonso and Carlos Reygadas, she won the Silver Bear Jury Prize in Berlin for this urgent, unshakeable drama.
