2026

Lucero's household runs like a proof of concept: the wealthy husband, the children, the arranged life. Teresa Simone builds the film as a domestic thriller that keeps its pressure entirely interior for as long as possible — the danger is relational rather than physical, arriving through accumulated compromises rather than incident. When a young swimming coach enters the family orbit, what follows is a triangle that eventually draws in Lucero's daughter, shifting the dramatic weight from affair to something closer to rivalry. Ludwika Paleta and Óscar Casas carry the central pull; the film's engine is the slow collapse of the distance Lucero thinks she can maintain.
