Synopsis

This riveting documentary explores the mysterious history of a lodger who resided at Rosa Elena Carbajal’s boarding house, situated on the corner of Shakespeare and Victor Hugo Streets in Mexico City, in the early 1990s. Jorge Riosse, a schizophrenic, became very close with his landlady. Now, Carbajal’s granddaughter explores whether he may have been responsible for the murders of 13 women during the time he lived in the boarding house.
