Better Class

Altas Capacidades

BETTER CLASS is a sharply biting dramedy that dissects a universal story: the aspirations and contradictions of the middle class in its attempt to climb the social ladder. At some point, haven’t we all felt the pressure to fit into a world that isn’t ours? Directed by Victor Garcia Leon (The Europeans), co-written with Borja Cobeaga (Breaking Walls), the film features a stellar cast led by Marian Alvarez (Hidden Murder), Israel Elejalde (Parallel Mothers) and Juan Diego Botto (The Room Next Door).

Alicia and Gonzalo, a middle-class couple, are presented with the opportunity to enroll their son, Fer, in an elite secular school. For them, it means dipping a toe into the upper class—new friendships, higher income, and countless advantages. They say they are doing it for their son. Torn between fear and their moral principles, the couple’s ambitions will reveal just how far they are willing to go to climb the social ladder.
