    Synopsis

    [edit]

    Carmen and Alfredo have been dating since high school and live in Ciudad Satélite, where they are safe from having to fit into a society obsessed with the perfect body, despite the fact that they are both obviously overweight. But when Alfredo is offered a new job and they move to Mexico City, Carmen decides to change her body and that of her husband. As one of the two loses weight at a rapid rate, an inevitable chasm yawns between them.[2][4]

    Reception

    [edit]

    Critical reception

    [edit]

    Lucero Solórzano from Excelsior highlights the simplicity of the script and that it is not necessarily something negative, since it does not seek to judge or indoctrinate obese people, but rather merely tells a love story between 2 beings seeking to escape the sensation of "not fitting in", being fresh in the first act and despite the fact that the second act slows down, one can forgive him for the charisma of the leading duo.[9]
