La tarea prohibida

Building upon the themes explored in “La Tarea” (Homework), director Jaime Humberto Hermosillo extends his narrative with a tale about a young man tasked with a project for his film and video class. He invites Marieda, a woman in her middle years, to his aunt’s residence under the pretense of rehearsing for a video drama she assumes they will eventually film. Unbeknownst to her, she is being recorded from the moment she arrives. Following a staged rehearsal of a sex scene, they end up making love, which elicits an unforeseen response from the young man. Moments later, the true nature of their relationship is shockingly unveiled.
