Mexico City, 1981. Heat pulses in the air as you crosses the threshold into Alejandro’s house, met by Marcella’s warm smile. After a casual conversation, a request for a glass of water sends you into the kitchen, where the atmosphere tightens at the sight of a young, serious figure. Luis Miguel, distracted and on edge, asks for his glass in a clipped tone, startled to see a visitor instead of his brother. The interaction is brief, but it reveals the strain he’s under before he withdraws, leaving you with a first impression of chilly distance.
