1h 41m
Directed by Lila Avilés • Drama • 2019 • Mexico • Spanish with English subtitles
Starring Gabriela Cartol, Teresa Sanchez
In her feature debut, theater director Lila Avilés turns the monotonous work day of Eve, a chambermaid at a high-end Mexico City hotel, into a beautifully observed film. Set entirely in this alienating environment, with extended scenes taking place in the guest rooms, hallways, and cleaning facilities, this minimalist yet sumptuous movie brings to the fore Eve’s hopes, dreams, and desires.
