Lucía's story starts off with such promise as she navigates her way up the corporate ladder, only to be blindsided by accusations that threaten everything she’s worked for. The film’s pacing sometimes feels uneven, dragging in parts where more tension could have been built. While the performances are solid, especially from the lead, some supporting characters felt underdeveloped. You might find yourself wishing for deeper exploration of the themes of trust and betrayal. Despite its flaws, it’s an engaging watch that sparks conversation about ambition and ethics in the workplace. Just don’t expect a perfect resolution; it leaves you pondering long after the credits roll. Show less
