What Can We Expect from 'Coartadas'?
The film follows Miguel, the owner of Coartadas a company that specializes in crafting fake alibis for clients looking to cheat on their partners or dodge uncomfortable situations. After completing a particularly strange job that involved driving a hearse, Miguel accidentally hits a woman named Noelia — not a serious injury, just a broken finger. They meet at the hospital, sparks fly, and they begin dating. As their relationship blossoms, Noelia reveals she’s a judge who despises liars and fraud. To impress her, Miguel pretends to run a funeral home instead of confessing his real line of work. Trouble arises when Miguel is introduced to Noelia’s family — and discovers her father is one of his clients, who once hired him to cover up an affair.
