Roma

'Roma' is the most personal project to date of the Mexican director and writer Alfonso Cuarón, winner of an Academy Award.

The film chronicles a year in the life of a middle-class family in Mexico City in a turbulent year in the early 1970s.

Cleo (Yalitza Aparicio) and Adela (Nancy García García), both domestic workers of Mixtec origin, are young women who live in Colonia Roma, in the middle class neighborhood of Mexico City. Cuarón is inspired by his own childhood in this film and in the women with whom he grew up to make an artistic ode to matriarchy and a realistic and sentimental portrait of the conflicts and social hierarchies that were lived in Mexican homes during the political turmoil of the 70s.
