Good story + great cast = very good movie

This is the second movie from Francisco Athie that I have watched. I didn't do it because it was from him (FIBRA OPTICA), but for the great cast he has in it.

1 Lucha Villa as the middle-low class mother, struggling to keep her kids afloat 

2 Alicia Montoya as the greedy loan lady in the neighborhood 

3 Damián Alcázar as the corrupt policeman, related to Lolo

4 Roberto Sosa as Lolo, whose love to his mother made him make a mistake

Roberto Sosa, with an appearance like his, ends always in this kind of movies. This one is a very interesting one, because portrays almost like a mirror, the lives and troubles of the less fortunate. Victims of circumstances. It's not an excuse, hunger and lack of opportunities is not a good combination... make people do crazy stuff...

Spanish-language cinema across Spain and Latin America is united by its engagement with history, cultural identity, and social transformation. In Spain, films often balance artistic experimentation with popular genres while reflecting on memory, politics, and family. In Latin America, cinema has been deeply tied to questions of colonial legacy, resistance, and community resilience, ranging from intimate dramas to bold political allegories.
