Synopsis
La Mandrágora, a crumbling summer house on the edge of a rainforest, has seen better days. For Mecha, the matriarch of the house, a red wine-soaked afternoon by the pool is interrupted when she falls over and is rushed to hospital. Her son visits to check up on her, her cousin’s family arrives from the city to make use of their stagnant swimming pool and there’s the promise of a trip to nearby Bolivia. However, these distractions from their middle-class listlessness are short-lived.
