Pedro and Eva arrive at the Vistamar mega-resort to “heal” their lives. Settling into a private villa with their young son, they’re surprised to find another family at the door; a clerical mistake has left them double-booked. The families make do, attending the resort’s time-share seminar and enjoying its pools and activities, and they are catered to by the staff of “leisure experts,” including Andres and Gloria, an estranged, middle-aged couple. While Gloria advances her career, Andres toils in a laundry job, dubious of the resort’s new corporate ownership. As Pedro becomes paranoid that his family is being pried away from him, he and Andres band together to expose the sinister forces at work in the tropical paradise. (Sundance Film Festival)

What was this supposed to be? A family psychological drama in the guise of a thriller about a time-share hotel chain run by a cult? In any case, it doesn’t work and just leaves the viewer waiting for the bizarre, question-packed plot to make sense and develop into something proper. And it remains undeveloped, nonsensical and dramatically defective. Whether or not the screenwriter had a lousy experience with the time-share concept and needed to put it down on paper, he could have used it as the inspiration for a thousand plots more interesting than this.
