Las Mafiosas

A group of women and their uncle come to the aid of a severely wounded man who has been shot. They soon discover he is the brother of Paco, a powerful gangster with deep influence in the criminal underworld. Despite their efforts, the man dies days later. Enraged and determined to uncover the truth, Paco approaches the women with a proposal: work for him within his organization while he temporarily leaves the city. With their help, he plans to identify those who betrayed his brother and orchestrated his death. As they become entangled in the mafia’s operations, loyalty, danger, and ambition collide — leading them into a dangerous mission of revenge that could change all their lives.

Directed by Alonso O. Lara, Las Mafiosas leans on a strong ensemble — Elias Hernandez, Vianey Huizar, Luis Huizar — 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 2015.
