Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Plá based this on real Mexican healthcare horror stories, where IMSS bureaucracy literally kills. The 'thousand heads' title references a 16th-century political critique about hydra-like corruption.
The gun Sonia carries was a last-minute script change — originally she had only documents. This weaponizes the audience: we want her to use it, then feel complicit for wanting it.
