2DCS15
Director:Jorge Cuchí
Cast:Fiona Palomo, Alfonso Dosal, Gerardo Trejoluna
Premiere:11. July 2024
Length:129 minutes
Genre:Drama

Director: Jorge Cuchí  •  Cast: Fiona Palomo, Alfonso Dosal, Gerardo Trejoluna

During the filming of the movie, actress Sandra accuses her actor colleague Daniel of raping her during a love scene. Daniel claims he is innocent, but Sandra decides to press charges while the production tries to prevent the incident from becoming a scandal. A polished, insightful and suspenseful drama set in a post #MeToo context about consensus, the search for truth and justice in sexual abuse cases.

Up-and-coming Mexican actors Sandra Navarro (Fiona Palmo) and Daniel Zavala (Alfonso Dosal) star together in a new film from a prestigious director. Their chemistry works well together, and from their friendly dialogue during prep in the makeup room, they seem to be on the same page for the upcoming intimate scene that awaits them - even joking about whether they'll shoot it "for real." The scene is being filmed and the director suddenly notices a subtle change in Sandra's expression. It's only when the crew leaves the set that Sandra confides what happened to her, accusing Daniel of rape and sparking the inevitable and acrimonious confrontation. Daniel is furious and claims his innocence, while the film's producers try to mitigate the consequences and prevent the incident from turning into a scandal. A provocative and highly topical film by writer and director Jorge Cuchí, which excels in its gripping thriller pacing. It is both a penetrating examination of consensus and truth in the post #MeToo era and a shocking look at how justice is served in the face of social media.
