在葡萄牙，一位父亲、一位母亲和一个女儿的日常生活正被经济危机的影响所吞噬。

十七岁的少女马尔塔与失业的父亲和一个人打多份工挣钱养家的母亲住在里斯本郊区的一间公寓里。父亲浑浑噩噩显得有些奇怪，偶尔暴躁易怒，母亲长时间工作疲惫不堪。父母的共同点则是都因为各自的问题忽略了马尔塔，于是少女喜怒无常，常常身体自虐，将情感寄托在笼子里的宠物小鸟身上。 父亲马里奥怀着无法排解的失败感，劫持了一个朋友开车载他去海边，后来朋友揍了他几拳扔下四十欧元离开。马里奥在沙滩上睡了一夜，在清晨裸体游了个泳，路过花圃要了点水解渴，然后继续在残破墙根下露宿了一晚。马里奥回到家，妻子却失去了一份工作，马尔塔的小鸟死掉了，家里因为交不起电费而被停电。一切都无可挽回的走向崩溃。

It's 1994 in Mexico, the nation was witnessing a turbulent year since its beginnings. An indigenous rebellion shakes the country. Three months later, the ruling party's presidential candidate is brutally murdered during a rally in Tijuana. The country is concerned. Nobody knows who's behind this event, it all points to a conspiracy. Andrés Vázquez, an intelligence expert, is commissioned to lead a secret investigation parallel to the official government issued one. But another expert agent, el Seco, has received orders to wipe out all witnesses and get rid of the evidence surrounding the candidate's murder. As Andrés begins putting the pieces of this intricate puzzle together and comes closer to the truth, he realizes he's also putting his life and that of his loved ones in peril.

1994年，墨西哥总统候选人科洛西奥（Colosio）因其民主理念和反腐败立场而备受关注，直到他在蒂华纳（Tijuana）头部中枪身亡。《神奇的科洛西奥》（The Wondrous ColOZio）部分基于真实事件改编，故事从事件发生的三天前开始，两个迷幻中的朋友迭戈（Diego）和盖尔（Gael）得到一个预言：拯救科洛西奥免于死亡。这两人在一个万花筒般的动画场景中跳舞……

Marisol (Alejandra Herrera) is caught between her possessive and aggressive cousin, Mauro (Eduardo Mendizábal), and passionate but inert lover, Mundo (Noé Hernández). Violence is a constant presence in their rural Mexican town, with gangs and guerilla fighters a steady presence. When Mundo has to flee, their connection turns from physical to digital even when Marisol is held captive by her cousin. Their communication via text, voicemail, and video is sporadic and frustrating, but is nevertheless a source of comfort, and their longing remains intense despite the distance. When Mundo returns, the stakes for Marisol are even higher, and it’s no longer a question of whether things will come to a head, but how and when. Might their desire and desperation ultimately play to her advantage? In turns paradisiacal and nightmarish, the setting director Gerardo Naranjo (Miss Bala) created is mesmerizing. The craggy, sunny seaside alternates with electronic messages, shaky video calls and crashing waves. The air seethes with pent-up emotions as Marisol longs for freedom.—Frederic Boyer
