Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Plume of Moctezuma is a real contested artifact still held in Vienna, making this satire uncomfortably timely. López weaponizes actual diplomatic tension for comedy.
Issa López later directed 'Tigers Are Not Afraid' — this comedy's controlled chaos directly trained her horror instincts.
