Our take
Proletarian solidarity is a fragile thing in Ezequiel Radusky’s taut drama, which parallels the casual cruelty of the management class with the breakdown of a female friendship. In her final appearance on film, Rosario Bléfari delivered a powerful performance that simmered with working-class rage.
