To supplement her income she rents out a room to a man whose wife is hospitalized nearby, not knowing that he will sneak his 9-year-old son into the apartment. Without realizing it, her fondness for young Cristian creeps into grumpy Olga's heart and begins to topple the walls she built so carefully. Acclaimed Mexican director Fernando Eimbcke delivers a delicate and amusing comic drama, shot in stylish black and white, that has already won over festival audiences around the world with its warmth and affection for its characters. 99 minutes, Spanish, Hebrew and English subtitles.
