Why this pick
A spare, visually composed portrait of a young domestic worker navigating inherited trauma and household power, balancing social reality with the dignified interior life Roma gives Cleo.

01 / THE STORY
In the 1970s, a young indigenous household worker Cleodegaria "Cleo" Gutiérrez works for an affluent family living in the middle-class neighborhood of Roma in Mexico City. As domestic strife and the constraints of social hierarchy unfold amidst a backdrop of powerful earthquakes, student revolts, and political unrest, the family struggles to stay together as forces threaten to pull them apart.
