Everything Else

Middle-aged office worker Doña Flor (Adriana Barraza, Babel) lives a solitary life of quiet desperation, issuing government ID cards and spending nights in her tiny apartment watching romantic films alongside her beloved cat Manuelito. But when Manuelito dies and her sole outlet for love and affection is lost, the tiny cracks in Doña Flor's colorless façade grow, forcing the reclusive worker to reach out for any kind of human touch in the only way she knows how, and leading to an unexpected moment of connection and grace.
