Gloria encounters Francisco, a man whose social veneer betrays a truer self burrowed underneath.

VIBE

A suffocating atmosphere of repressed rage and simmering jealousy. This film feels like a slow, agonizing descent into despair, punctuated by moments of explosive, destructive passion. It's a raw, unflinching look at the darkest corners of the human heart.
