Mexique / 2025 / Fiction / 23’53”I2606095
[EN] When Mexico City locals AMANDA and CRISTIAN learn they're being evicted for their apartment to become an Airbnb, they decide to reverse the American-led gentrification of the city by kidnapping MARCIA - a New York exile subletting in their building - thus scaring off the gringos. Clueless about kidnapping, they turn to their housekeeper ADA, who sees the chance to make a quick buck and hires her meth-addict nephew El Menso (The Idiot) to do the job. He takes Marcia just as she’s waiting to be picked up for a city tour, and between the language barrier, El Menso’s inexperience, and Marcia's hunger for authentic local experiences, the whole thing heads rapidly off the rails towards disaster.
