In the story Diego Luna plays Cristian, the younger brother of a family that meets to celebrate the 60th birthday of the patriarch, without suspecting that something terrible and lamentable will happen. The youngest son decides to share a secret with the guests, little realizing the effect this will have. So far, so normal. But it is the execution of this story that is impressive.The story of how people refuse to acknowledge parents abusing their children, and how people will move with the crowd is portrayed brilliantly.
