Raw depiction of social injustice and labor explotation

I had the opportunity to watch this short at the International Short Film Festival of Mexico and I must say it was one of the best of the competition by far.

Selma Cervantes nails it showing the awful conditions and labor explotation workers must face.

Even though it's placed during the Covid pandemic, most of these situatios are currently happening on a daily basis (for example, making you sign a resignation letter the same day you are hired so they can fire you whenever they want) making you think how used we are toward these abusive practices.

Yalitza Aparicio gives a wonderful performance, showing the distress we all have felt when we think we could loose our source of income, struggling while trying to hide her pregnancy and trying to go unnoticed. The last scene was heartbreaking and I have to say I was impressed of how good she managed the role.
