"Living her life within the confines of a pricey Mexico City hotel, shy maid Eve longs for human connection, unexpectedly coming into her own through the promise of education and surprising new friendships in this subtle, assured debut."

"This film drew us into its character's claustrophobic world with precision, sophistication, restraint, and warmth. A devastating portrait of a working class woman who gradually challenges her circumstances, this young filmmaker creates unbearable tension from ordinary, overlooked moments. And yet there's joy, too, and above all the beautiful dignity of its lead actress, Gabriela Cartol, and the co-workers who complicate her days."

For "breaking the expectatons of audience's perception, for noble directing, for sophisticated editing."

"While cinema is often done on a grand scale to zoom out and present us with complicated plots and twists, tonight we feel the need to zoom in to the imperfect beauty that this film has to offer. It takes us behind the closed doors of an unknown world, that most of the time we take for granted. We were all very taken by the enigmatic main character who slowly reveals the desires behind her shy exterior. The film left a very strong mark in each of our hearts with outstanding scenes that are effectively simple, and contain many thoughtful details."
