Jesús Anza

Emma, a 23-year-old woman trapped between nostalgia and the fear of growing up, escapes into the life of her teenage sister, Julia, projecting onto her the dreams and emotions she no longer allows herself to feel. But when that borrowed world begins to collapse, Emma is forced to confront the realization that she no longer knows who she is outside of other people.

After losing his chance at the Mexican presidency, ambitious politician Chema retreats with his elegant wife Carmina to a countryside hacienda. Exile soon turns into delusion: they crown themselves king and queen of a fabricated realm, household staff are recast as courtiers, halls transform into stages of decadent ceremony, and fantasies spill into cruel punishments and bizarre rituals.
