New Showbiz Analysis

The film presents a nuanced exploration of personal autonomy set in a contemporary Mexican context. By focusing on a woman's journey through unconventional means, it challenges traditional storytelling. However, it lacks representation of LGBTQ+ characters and individuals with disabilities, and the romantic focus remains within conventions that assume everyone is straight.

Official Synopsis

This is the story of the problems of a young 21-year-old woman who, in the context of modern Mexico, tries to escape reality with the false relief granted by drugs and casual sex. Pamela gets involved with an older man called Victor, in an unboundedly passionate relationship that leads them to invent a double life for themselves in order to cross over the boundaries and explore their deepest fantasies. They set off in the company of Miguel, a young and sensual Spaniard, on a trip to Pie de la Cuesta.
