Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for people who like their stories with a little danger and people who enjoy a knot in their stomach. Plenty of moral grey areas to chew on.
The mood
Tense, dark and gritty.
The pace
Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 39 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.

The story of a naive young man, provincial and not very experienced, to whom the circumstances of destiny, when crossing with the beautiful Frida, lead him to mature with a single blow. Rodolfo helps Frida in a car accident while she orders him to deliver an envelope. There begins the desperate flight of this innocent man fighting for his life, persecuted by thugs -who want to recover the contents of the envelope- and by the police -who seeks him for being a suspect in the death of an important diplomat.
