La Leccion (The Lesson)

Synopsis

What does it take for people to acknowledge the affect they have on others on a worldwide level? And once acknowledged what does it take for people to change the often toxic patterns present in the capitalist system wherein wealth is more important than compassion, love and a right to life? In the reflective windows of the wealthy this film offers a picture of what it may take to break the cycle and raise a hand against the institutionalized violence supported by the capitalist system. Javier is a prestigious executive with a life full of luxury and money. He takes decisions that contribute to poverty and exploitation of families that that seem numbers for him. Everything will change when Oscar appears and give him a lesson he will never forget.
