A film by Javier Fuentes-León
(Peru/Colombia, 2020, Digital, in Spanish with English subtitles)

“A satirical, over-the-top comedy, The Best Families follows two sisters working as housemaids for different aristocratic women in Peru.

A long-held secret involving both households—upstairs and downstairs—is suddenly revealed, blowing up the bubble of their perfect aristocratic world forever.” —Latin Wave, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston
