Storyline

- TriviaEach tale is increasingly longer than the previous one.
- GoofsWhen Diego crashes his car, the airbags deploy and stay inflated. In an actual crash, airbags deploy instantly and then immediately deflate.
- Crazy creditsIn the opening credits of the film, each actor is identified and accompanied by the image of a wild animal. In the case of the director (Szifrón), he chose a fox, the reason is not only because he is red haired: "The fox was an animal that my dad really liked, he always saw foxes documentaries, I think that's why I chose it..."

Featured review
six good stories
These are six wild tales. (1) Various strangers board a plane and find they all know Gabriel Pasternak. (2) An arrogant man walks into a desolate diner. The waitress recognizes him as the loan shark who drove her father to commit suicide. The cook pushes her to put rat poison in the food. (3) A city guy in a nice car gets into an escalating fight with a brute in an old rundown car on a desert highway. (4) A demolition expert gets his car towed. He tries to fight the system which spiral out of control. (5) A young man is in a hit-and-run which kills a pregnant woman. His family hires the gardener to take the criminal charge in exchange for a large payout. (6) At her wedding party, Romina uncovers her groom Ariel had cheated on her. This sends her on a downward spiral.
I rarely like all the vignettes in an anthology. Number 3 is my favorite. It goes down a rabbit hole and keeps going and going. It's relentless and fun. Number 5 is probably my least favorite. I would recommend Fargo season 2 TV show for a hit-and-run story. Number 1 is like a Twilight Zone episode. I'm not sure about Number 6 until the final scene. I love the way it ends and closes the movie in grand fashion.
