Receta no Incluida

I'll start by saying that "Recipe Not Included" is a movie that everyone should see because it touches on the subject of people who suffer from obsessive compulsive disorder (better known as OCD) and it does so in a simple and everyday way that doesn't sound like a pamphlet but rather one identifies with the protagonist and feels identified.

This story is written and starred by Marietere Vélez in the role of Carola García, a young woman who seems normal and healthy until something happens that triggers the disorder that manifests itself in hearing voices that torment her. She goes to a pharmacy to buy some pills to control the disorder but she doesn't have a prescription or money to pay a doctor to give it to her.

Carola has no choice but to see if the pharmacy employee can sell her the pills clandestinely, and this unleashes entanglements, traumas and tensions with friends from the past that aggravate her condition and push her to the edge of the precipice.

Juliana Maité's direction manages to capture Carola's agony in which the good use of sound in the voices that the protagonist hears stands out.

I end the same way I started, "Receta no incluída" is a film that everyone should see to raise awareness of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
