 The Sacred Family is part of The Global Lens Collection.
A dinner guest turns a family's Easter weekend upside down in this sophisticated comedy drama from Chile. On Good Friday, college freshman Marco brings his beautiful new girlfriend Sofia to meet his parents at their house on the beach. Sofia quickly charms everyone, but her impulsiveness and honesty hint at her disruptive nature. When mother is unexpectedly called away and the trio are joined by another three of Marco’s friends, Sofia’s flirtatious, manipulative ways soon expose latent frictions, sexual tensions, and the unspoken rules that tie the family together.
