Oneira

Emili and her mother run a small restaurant in a forgotten town in Mexico. Surprisingly, a major tv network has announced an open casting call. Emili, who dreams of becoming an actress, sees it as the opportunity of a lifetime. She has the support of her friends, El Maradona and Antonia, who believe she can make it. However, her lack of confidence and her mother’s pressure to stay and help with the restaurant make her question whether going to the casting is the right decision. All of this unfolds while the town’s eyes and ears are consumed by football.

Directed by Miguel Guzman, Oneira leans on a strong ensemble — Frida Alcántara, Saúl Mercado, Ari Tamarindo — 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 screen titles of 0.
