Desconectados

About This Movie

Desconectados is an interesting dive into the chaos of modern life and our relationship with technology. The film balances humor and heartfelt moments as we follow Victoria, a workaholic mom who’s really lost touch with her kids. The solar storm plot device is a clever way of forcing a family to reconnect, and there’s a nice rhythm to how the chaos unfolds. The performances from the leads are solid, and you can feel the tension and awkwardness that comes with familial disconnection. It doesn’t take itself too seriously, yet it still raises questions about dependency on the internet. A distinct tone emerges as they navigate their new reality, making it not just about comedy, but about rediscovering family bonds.
