Esteban, known as “La Sombra,” is driven by one purpose: to avenge the murder of his mother. As he begins his search for answers, he discovers others who have also lost loved ones to a mysterious killer. United by grief and rage, they join forces to uncover the truth behind the growing list of victims. Evidence points directly at La Sombra. The murders were committed with dragon-marked bullets — ammunition uniquely linked to him — part of a calculated scheme designed to frame him as the killer. Refusing to surrender to the accusations, La Sombra pieces together the clues one by one. As the puzzle slowly comes together, he uncovers a devastating truth: the real murderer is someone far closer than he ever imagined.

Years before Mexican director, Alfonso Cuaron, was winning Academy Awards for movies like Gravity (2013) and Roma(2018), he directed a small, intimate film about two best friends who decide to embark on an improvised road trip to spend time with an older, attractive woman who miraculously agrees to go with them. Y tu Mamá También is a deep journey into the raw sexuality and friendship of the young protagonists, as well as a subtle social and political commentary on Mexico at the time.

In Spike Lee’s She’s Gotta Have It (1986), we follow the love life of powerful female protagonist Nola Darling (Tracy Camilla Johns) and explore the relationship dynamics she has with her partners. She sees three men simultaneously: Greer Childs, (John Canada Terrell) Mars Blackmon (Spike Lee), and Jamie Overstreet (Tommy Redmond Hicks). Though an 80’s film, She’s Gotta Have It is surprisingly progressive with its themes of female sexuality, although at some points in the film it is handled clumsily. Overall Nola is an incredibly compelling character especially for modern women, as we as a society acknowledge female sensuality more and more without the negative stigma.
