Sonia’s husband is suffering from advanced cancer. She’s trying to get her hands on an expensive medication for him, but to do so she needs information from her doctor. It might be covered by insurance, but no one will give her a straight answer. Fed up with ignorance and indifference, she launches into a battle against the corruption and callousness of her insurance company. But things don’t go as planned, and instead she triggers an unstoppable spiral of violence. With a gun in hand, the desperate woman will stop at nothing. After all, a wounded animal doesn’t cry. It bites. The fourth feature film from this renowned Mexican director is a biting critique of a state system in whose eyes an ordinary person means absolute zero. After its attention-grabbing debut at Venice, the film went on to appear at other festivals and win numerous awards.
