Synopsis
From acclaimed director Jorge Michel Grau (“We Are What We Are”), this sleek thriller, of marital intrigue and deceiving occurrences, first centers on Eric (José María de Tavira), the new conductor of the Mexico City Philharmonic. His wife Carolina (Paulina Dávila) has vanished without a trace and the police suspect him. Though seemingly shell-shocked, Eric is quick to find solace in Fabiana (Cristina Rodlo) a young waitress unaware of the ongoing situation.
But what begins as a steamy affair between the new lovers soon turns into a labyrinth of questions without answers inside a lavish home. The more time Fabiana spends inside the property, the more she is haunted by unexplainable events. Assuredly, Grau approaches the story with non-traditional structure to immerse the viewer into the many perspective involved in this enigmatic love triangle.

Pero lo que comienza como un tórrido romance entre los nuevos amantes, pronto se convierte en un laberinto de preguntas sin respuesta dentro de una lujosa casa. Entre más tiempo pasa Fabiana dentro de la propiedad, más eventos inexplicables la atormentan. Con gran seguridad, Grau aborda la historia mediante una estructura fuera de lo tradicional para sumergir al espectador en las múltiples perspectivas involucradas en este enigmático triángulo amoroso.
Dirigida con un refrescante estilo visual y magníficamente interpretada por un elenco de rostros nuevos y reconocidas estrellas, “Perdida” es una fascinante exploración del choque entre la pasión y la venganza ambientada en una casa donde las paredes mismas guardan oscuros secretos. La única certeza es que nada es lo que parece.
