In his directorial debut, Gael García Bernal also stars in this sharp social drama set against the sun-drenched backdrop of a lavish Mexican holiday weekend. Cristóbal, a privileged university student portrayed by Bernal, is throwing an extravagant party at his family's secluded estate, a world defined by wealth and casual entitlement. As he navigates the chaotic preparations, tensions simmer with the staff, including the housekeeper's daughter, and his own carefully constructed facade begins to crack under the weight of expectation and hidden familial strife. The film meticulously dissects the invisible walls of class through intimate, fraught interactions, building a palpable sense of unease as personal desires clash with unspoken social rules. With a compelling ensemble including Giovanna Zacarías and Ana Serradilla, "Deficit" unfolds as a tense and provocative character study, exposing the fragile human connections strained by the stark realities of economic disparity.
