The Rolling Tape

Ceniza en la Boca had its World Premiere at Cannes 2026 in the Special Screenings section of the festival. The film is directed by Diego Luna and described as follows: Lucila leaves Mexico with her younger brother to reunite with their mother in Madrid, who had left a few years earlier to chase a better future. When they finally arrive, the bitter, suffocating reality that awaits them proves far harsher than Lucila had imagined. Still, she is determined to make the most of this fragile new life.
We are joined by actresses Adriana Paz & Anna Díaz to discuss their work and relationship to the source material.
