Why you must see this film: Because it is an achievement for Puerto Rican cinema. It provokes a heated and productive conversation about mental health and health insurance systems. With a good pace and a compelling script, it is a film that we highly recommend!

Olivia is getting ready for her family’s Christmas Eve party. But her obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) voice in her head, which has been under control for some time, suddenly returns, prompting a desperate search for the pills that have helped her in the past.
