Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The title translates to 'Eyes That Don't See'—referencing both institutional blindness to Elena's instability and Andrea's initial denial of warning signs.
Set in Mexico City's elite private school system, the film critiques how wealth insulates dysfunction; Elena's decades of service made her invisible until she became dangerous. The real 2017 case that loosely inspired it involved a nanny, not a librarian.
