Skonflix Overview & Editorial Review
Set in 1990s Mexico City, five socially isolated high school outcasts, Eli, Lucía, Tenoch, Alex, and Daniela decide to take control of their low social standing by launching an illegal, highly profitable academic enterprise selling forged homework, stolen exam answers, and custom term papers to their classmates. Operating from hidden corners of their campus, the group uses their combined intellect and resourcefulness to build a thriving black market business, managing complex drop locations and secret financial ledgers while dodging suspicious school administrators and angry rivals. As their sudden financial independence and growing reputation boost their confidence, the five teenagers navigate the tumultuous landscape of adolescence, dealing with intense first loves, strict family expectations, economic hardship, and mounting personal anxieties. However, as the scale of their secret operation expands beyond their control, personal rivalries and hidden emotional struggles begin to fracture their tight knit group, culminating in a devastating tragedy that forces the surviving friends to confront the heartbreaking realities of mental health, grief, and the true cost of growing up.
Directed by Catalina Aguilar Mastretta (Everybody Loves Someone) and Samuel Kishi Leopo (Los Lobos), No One Will Miss Us (Nadie nos va a extrañar) (2024) is an evocative five episode Mexican coming of age drama series produced by The Mediapro Studio and Silencio.
