The Consequences

Since Fabiola saw her husband die in a diving accident, nothing has been the same again. Tired of not getting better, she decides to self-prescribe an unconventional therapy: together with her dad and her teenage daughter, she travels to a house her family owns in a small volcanic island. During this time of coexistence, each of them tries to protect their own privacy, and to safeguard their secrets. But all this secrecy triggers Fabiola’s paranoia. She has neither evidence nor certainty, but something tells her that things are not what they seem.

Directed by Claudia Pinto Emperador, The Consequences leans on a strong ensemble — Juana Acosta, Alfredo Castro, María Romanillos — 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 2021.
