Corina

"Corina is a Mexican film promoted for being different from other productions in the country, and from the start, this is true: it is a coming-of-age story, unusual in a cinema often focused on realistic social drama and documentaries. Set in an ambiguous point in the '90s in Guadalajara, the plot follows Corina (Invasion's Naian González Norvind), a young woman in her 20s who, after a family tragedy in her childhood, suffers from agoraphobia that has limited her existence to one block that contains everything she needs: the house she shares with her mother (Carolina Politi), the store where she buys the same coffee every day, and the publishing house where she has been relegated to the harmless task of copyediting erotic books. However, when she makes a serious mistake by tampering with the latest book in the publishing house’s most successful series, she is forced to step outside her comfort zone for a trip to fix it. It is a lovely production that embraces its artificiality to highlight the contrasts between optimism and pessimism, experience and naivety, the desire to live and the fear of death, with many moments of humor provided by González Norvind herself and Cristo Fernández (known for his role as Danny Rojas in Ted Lasso)."
