Description

In a captivating blend of comedy and drama, this film presents an incisive examination of class, culture, and the often unseen divides that shape our interactions. Beatriz, a compassionate health practitioner and immigrant from a modest town in Mexico, attends a high-stakes dinner party hosted by her wealthy client. Little does she know, her evening will turn into a charged confrontation with Doug Strutt, a brash billionaire whose self-satisfaction knows no bounds. As the wine flows and conversations turn sharp, the stark contrast between Beatriz's heartfelt ideals and Doug’s ruthless ambition creates a tense atmosphere that challenges the very essence of privilege and empathy. With its razor-sharp dialogue and brilliant performances, the film invites audiences into a world where social norms are questioned, and genuine humanity clashes with cold capitalism. As the dinner progresses, viewers are treated to an exploration of moral dilemmas, the immigrant experience, and the struggles for authenticity in a world driven by material success. This film is not just a dinner party; it’s a microcosm of society’s broader issues, making it a thought-provoking watch that will linger in your mind long after the credits roll.
