About This Movie

It starts off with a seemingly simple premise: a lawyer, Jaime, secures the release of a young crook, Chirlo. But what follows is a downward spiral into chaos. The pacing has this unsettling rhythm—moments of calm are punctuated by sudden turmoil. The atmosphere is thick with tension, especially as Chirlo and Rocio wander through the city, their fate intertwined in ways they can't foresee. Performances are raw and compelling, particularly from the lead, who captures the desperation and impulsiveness of youth. It’s not just about crime; it’s a deep dive into choices and consequences, leaving a lingering sense of unease long after the credits roll.
