About Suffocation
After getting out of jail, where she learned to care for the sick, Alma, an albino woman, is determined to recover at any cost something much more important than her own freedom. In order to do so, Alma must spend her nights taking care of Clemente, a hypochondriac compulsively obsessed with avoiding sudden death. Their relationship moves through suspicion, fear and compassion to tenderness and love.
Directed by Kenya Marquez, Suffocation leans on a strong ensemble — Johana Fragoso Blendl, Enrique Arreola, Mónica del Carmen — 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 2018.
