Overview
When a billionaire entrepreneur impulsively decides to create an iconic movie, he demands the best. Renowned filmmaker Lola Cuevas is recruited to mastermind this ambitious endeavour. Completing the all-star team are two actors with massive talent but even bigger egos: Hollywood heartthrob Félix Rivero and radical theatre actor Iván Torres. Both are legends, but not exactly best friends. Through a series of increasingly eccentric trials set by Lola, Félix and Iván must confront not only each other but also their own legacies. Who will be left when the cameras finally start rolling?

Center
Primary
The film is a sharp satire of the film industry, critiquing universal human flaws like ego and pretension rather than promoting a specific political ideology, thus landing it in the neutral category.
The movie features a cast reflecting its Spanish and Argentinian origins, without explicit DEI-driven race or gender swaps of traditional roles. Its narrative offers a satirical critique of artistic ego and the film industry, rather than explicitly focusing on or negatively portraying traditional identities from a DEI perspective.
Secondary
The film includes a gay character, Darío, whose sexuality is mentioned incidentally as part of his personal life. His identity is neither central to the plot nor a source of conflict or affirmation. The portrayal is matter-of-fact and avoids strong positive or negative arcs, resulting in a neutral net impact.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
