Techo y comida

¨Techo y comida¨ (2015) or ¨Food and Shelter¨ is a slow-moving and brooding drama in short budget with top-notch interpretations , being very well played by Natalia De Molina . This turns out to be an intense drama dealing with a young single but a real mother in distress who holds a chaotic and marginal life along with her son and threatened house eviction . All day long she suffers feelings of sadness , isolation , stress and loneliness . As the single mother struggles to pay the rent and put food on the table for her 10 year old son. Along the way, she takes hard-working part-time jobs , as a leaflet delivery girl , as she fights to get some money and at whatever cost . Meanwhile , her son rejects her and is chased by her landlord . Bad times go on and a rencor between mother and son emerges , and flourishing again misunderstandings . Then the emergency situation begins to turn more and more dramatic , that's why the poor economic situation depends on Rocio's life . Things go wrong until a and unexpected finale.

A depressing and some boring film about a young girl who at her 22 years old has to face a lot of distresses , penuries , conflicts and foreclosure pursued by her lessor . Delivering a deep critique about economic crisis , political corruption and vital despair. Adding tense sequences especially in its final part in an unsettling denouement . The plot bears remarkable resemblance to posterior film : ¨La hija de un ladrón¨ (2019) by Belén Funes with Greta Fernández and Eduard Fernández . A sad and very low budget film with Natalia de Molina giving a real tour-de-force acting. Stars the good actress Natalia de Molina who gives a nice acting as the young get in problem , a single mother and either she depends of the social services and she's about to eviction . She's frankly well , though the movie results to be a simple family drama with plenty of loneliness , troubles and mother-son love , at times . Other actors appearing as Mariana Cordero , Manuel Tallafé , Campuzano and Mercedes Hoyos provide brief but adequate interpretations.
