Mexico City, November 1901. The police raid a private home where a secret party is being held. Among those attending is the son-in-law of President Porfirio Díaz.

VIBE

A lavishly staged, yet suffocatingly repressed historical drama. It captures the opulent facade of early 20th-century Mexico City, while hinting at the dangerous secrets lurking beneath the surface. A slow-burn exploration of hidden desires and societal judgment.
