Old age provides powerful dramatic material on the big screen, regardless of whether a character is likable or unlikable. This Argentine production, directed by Martín Mauregui, plays on this fragile ground and immerses the viewer in an uncomfortable but not so intriguing experience. The elderly woman played by Carmen Maura appears at first glance to be a familiar portrait. Someone who overwhelms those around them, pushes boundaries, perhaps a bit neglected, perhaps a bit left alone. However, as the film progresses, the colors of this portrait begin to change. The question lingers in minds: Is this a personality shaped by malice or by trauma? Mauregui does not rush to answer this question, and this ambiguity constitutes one of the film's strongest aspects. The production draws its horror and tension from an unexpected source: the ordinary moments of everyday life. Family meals, domestic conflicts, petty manipulations... Each of these feels like a harbinger of a threat that is slowly growing. The inclusion of comedic elements saves the film from a completely somber tone; however, this humor is never soothing. On the contrary, this is the kind of dark humor that intensifies tension and makes one uncomfortable while smiling. The cast, led by Daniel Hendler, convincingly portrays this tense family dynamic. But the backbone of the film is undoubtedly Maura's performance. The actress, who has successfully taken on many challenging roles in her decades-long career, also keeps the audience in a constant ambiguous position here: should we pity this woman or be afraid? This story, which tells how the shadows of the past seep into the present, also questions how complex the structure of care, responsibility and family ties is. Utilizing its ninety-four-minute runtime efficiently, the film progresses with quiet unease, without resorting to the noise of big-budget horror productions. The controversial quality indicated by the TMDB rating may reflect the film's unconventional tone and its structure, which cannot be easily classified, rather than its flaws. It's not easy to watch; but the questions it leaves you with when it's over are by no means minor.
