Description
In a gilded cage of privilege, two disaffected teenagers hatch a desperate, destructive plan. Franco, consumed by loneliness and obsession, and Polo, yearning for escape from his grim reality, find common ground in their shared dissatisfaction. As their lives intersect within the confines of a luxurious housing complex, their escalating desires and resentments ignite a chilling sequence of events. Fernanda Melchor masterfully dissects the explosive fragility of a society steeped in patriarchy, classism, and violence, revealing how the unfulfilled dreams of youth can unravel lives with devastating consequences.
