Sneak Preview | Workers

José Valle Luis’s dark and twisted directorial debut follows two Tijuana workers who’ve given their lives to their employ only to have their years of toil disregarded by administrative slights of the most unfortunate and unjustified order.

With thirty years of factory scrubbing under his belt, you can forgive aging Tijuana pensioner Rafael for looking forward to his last day. You might even call his quest to get all dolled up for that milestone with a fresh pair of loafers endearing. Unfortunately for Rafael, his entire pension’s been squandered by an administrative slight. A similar fate’s become of Rafael’s female parallel Lidia. Having aided a wealthy elderly dame and her pup Princess for thirty years, poor Lidia and the dame’s entire inheritance have been awarded to the coddled hound. So begins this most twisted of Mexican comedies.
