Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Journalist Laura works at home, isolating herself from others. While she lies to her mother and brother, Raul, on the phone about having an active social life, Laura's days consist of gazing at her neighbors, eating canned food and going to clubs to bring home strangers. As the anniversary of her father's death draws near, Laura develops a relationship with Arturo, a charismatic actor who shares her taste for rough sex.

★ 3.5/10
Quite a disturbing movie without much purpose nor rhythm. Although the character is believable in current life time, the progression of the story is not.
