Having to navigate a health care system’s bureaucracy is never fondly anticipated by anyone, but for Mexican housewife Sonia Bonet (Jana Raluy), the indifference she encounters from doctors and administrators as her husband (Daniel Cubillo) lays dying drives her to snap. Her sojourn all the way up to the insurer’s boardroom to make sure her claim gets processed--at gunpoint--fuels this darkly satirical effort; Sebastián Aguirre Boëda, Miriam Balderas, Hugo Albores also star. 74 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Spanish; Subtitles: English. In Spanish with English subtitles.
