Synopsis
Perfectos desconocidos (2018) is a Mexican tragicomedy you can watch online on iFILM. Over dinner, seven old friends agree to put their phones on the table and read every incoming message out loud.
The game sounds harmless — proof that nobody's hiding anything. Across one evening it pries loose affairs, secret accounts, unsent confessions and revelations that crack marriages open right at the table. The longer the meal runs, the clearer it gets: people who've known each other for decades can still be total strangers.
This is Manolo Caro's Mexican take on the Italian hit Perfetti sconosciuti, the film Guinness lists as the most remade in the world. Caro, the creator of the series The House of Flowers, moves the setup into well-heeled Mexico City and leans on a tight ensemble led by Cecilia Suárez. Claustrophobic, cruel and very funny.
