Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Obón draws from Mexican folklore around 'la pesadilla' — night demons that sit on your chest. The film quietly blends this with Catholic guilt about female sexuality.
Lilia Aragón reportedly refused to read the full script, wanting her confusion as the grandmother to mirror the character's unraveling sanity. Method acting or convenient excuse? You decide.
