Three wealthy Mexico City women drowning in cocaine, bad men, and worse decisions — it's messy, it's horny, it's spectacular.
Three flatmates in Mexico City face uncertainties: Lucía who has a great job as an art director for TV commercials is abusing alcohol and cocaine. She risks losing her job, going to prison for assault, and she's woefully in love with a bullfighter who may be two-timing her. Carmen, an artist without income, can be manic - snorting lots of cocaine and hanging out with a gay man and a transvestite. What's her future? Hanna contemplates divorce from Abraham, a wealthy momma's boy, and she's disoriented by feelings of attraction to Sandra, a customer at her jewelry store. Can any of these poor little rich girls sort things out in a world of excess?

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
One of the rare early-2000s Mexican films centering upper-class women's drug use without moralizing, reflecting the country's growing narco-culture bleed into elite circles.
Ana de la Reguera later became a Netflix darling in Narcos: Mexico — her Lucía role here is basically the same character's origin story.
