Siesta

Ramona cares for a wealthy Argentine family in the US: a sick young girl named Cindy and her pregnant mother. On the day of the mother’s baby shower, Cindy’s jealousy toward her unborn baby brother reaches new heights. In an effort to mitigate the child’s envy, Ramona tells Cindy a cautionary tale from her childhood. But when Cindy’s jealousy escalates, Ramona’s premonitions begin to intensify in parallel, reviving ghosts from her past and testing her love for the child.

Directed by Gustavo René Sanabria, Siesta leans on a strong ensemble — Aris Mejias, Camille Tosi, Josefina Scaro — 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 fantasy titles of 2024.
