The always charming, perfect and spoiled Sofia, the queen bee of her group of friends, faces the unimaginable - her social decay. The year is 1982, an economic crisis is hitting Mexico, and cracks appear in Sofia and her husband Fernando's manicured lives, as the social and economic order starts to shift around them.

This elegant, meticulously crafted feature film from Alejandra Márquez Abella captures, with rigor, humor, and irony the details, subtle glances and muted conversations that determine the pecking order within the wealthy circles.

Filmography: Semana Santa (2015).
