Lila Avilés debut is a minimalist slice of observational workplace realism centering on a young hotel employee in Mexico City. Gabriela Cartol creates an intriguing inner life with very little dialogue or narrative. Clearly made to "humanize" members of the invisible underclass, but its extreme austerity only goes so far in this goal.
