Amalgama

Directed by Carlos Cuarón
Mexico, Dominican Republic
2020
92 mins

Four dentists — three men and a woman — meet at a conference in the Riviera Maya. The men all want the woman, but she has something else in mind. As they all run away from their own history of pain, they spend a crazy weekend together filled with jealousy, envy, and excess on a tiny island in the Mexican Caribbean that will mark their lives forever.

A story of friends and colleagues who, seeking to evade their realities in a tropical paradise, will test their ties and their knowledge of themselves in a wicked black comedy.
