(Beto Gomez, Mexico, 2024, 103 min. In Spanish with English subtitles)
The latest film by director Beto Gómez (Private Pérez, Flying Low) is a delightful comedy that follows an unconventional family caught in a peculiar body-swap after a mystical encounter with an ancient god. As a result, each family member finds themselves in someone else’s body: Laura, the mother, becomes a teenager obsessed with her phone and boyfriend; Luis, the father, is trapped in the body of his son, Dante; and the younger daughter takes over her father’s body. Meanwhile, in the body of Mariana, the teenage daughter, is her lethargic brother, and little Zoe becomes the wise mother. With a fantastic cast featuring Bruno Bichir, Mariana Treviño, Blanca Guerra, and Luis de La Rosa, the film balances comedic and heartfelt moments as the characters learn to appreciate and understand each other’s differences, realizing that love and family unity are what matter most.
