A Grain of Rice from a House Where No One Has Died

A woman who will die soon tells her three children that she wants to do so with as little intervention as possible. They don't know how much of that desire they will be able to fulfill. Accompanying her in her decision makes them confront the way in which our civilization conceives death. Taking charge of preparing this farewell while their mother is still alive will be a mysterious and revealing way to be together.

Directed by Agustina Muñoz, A Grain of Rice from a House Where No One Has Died leans on a strong ensemble — María Villar, Vladimir Durán, Rafael Federman — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2023.
