Plá’s feature début is a taut social thriller that brutally reveals the dangers of growing polarisation between have and have-nots. ‘The Zone’ is a wealthy guarded and gated estate in Mexico City. When three teens from the slums on the other side of the wall break into the compound, they soon discover that privilege equals power and that inhabitants of ‘The Zone’ only uphold its own laws. Miguel manages to escape further into the neighbourhood where he encounters Alejandro, a local rich boy of a similar age. (Independent Cinema Office)
