Olga lives a strictly regulated life without attachments in a vast apartment block in Mexico City. When financial necessity forces her to rent a room in her apartment to a man who also sneaks in his nine-year-old son, an unlikely bond forms. Her carefully controlled world begins to shift, and their lives become intertwined against her will.
Acclaimed Mexican filmmaker Fernando Eimbcke explores loneliness and unexpected connection in this tender black-and-white comedy-drama, winner of the Ecumenical Jury Award at the Berlinale.
