In Guatemala, former General Enrique Monteverde is being prosecuted in a public trial for his abuses especially against native women. His dementia has him shooting his gun at his servant in the middle of the night and most of them quit. His daughter is relentless in her support and anger at his accusers. Longtime servant Valeriana is the only one remaining. They hire native girl Alma as the new maid.
This movie wants to be a horror. The political aspect is the backdrop. I kept expecting Alma to turn into an avenging spirit. I want her to take down the family one by one. This needs to take the next step, it never quite takes the full step. It takes a half step. The flashback is interesting, but it could have been more.
