Actress Mariana Di Girolamo is a Chilean name to watch as she brings chameleon-like qualities to roles like this and, a year later, Leonardo Medel's La Veronica. Here, she plays reggaeton dancer Ema, one half of a couple (alongside Gael Garcia Bernal's choreographer Gaston) whose adoption of a young boy has turned sour along with their relationship.

Beyond the performances, the dance choreography embedded in Pablo Larrain's film and fiercely colour-coded cinematography from Sergio Armstrong are stunning.
