Seda is an interesting take on sci-fi romance. Alejo, which also means distant in Spanish, tells the story as the narrator of the love of his life... Someone he is programming with habits and perceptions and with levels of attraction using a drug called Seda. He injects her, she believes its medicine but what its doing is feeding the way he wants to be loved and tailored specifically to him. This is his work. As Alejo's behavior becomes more chauvinist Ana starts to question the relationship and wondering if she even has autonomy anymore in her feelings. Natalia Plascencia is a revelation as Ana in all the stages of attraction and devotion and later on bearing the emotional consequences. In the first scene she delivers one of the most beautiful monologues I've ever seen where she lovingly tells Alejo the many reasons why she loves him. It's a long poetic scene that sets the perfect tone The scene is very important in understanding the dynamics. So if that captivates you, its worth watching the whole thing. The cinematography might be a little too harsh in some scenes but the images are still beautiful. If you liked Zoe this movie is so much better. You can feel the love. I recommend if you're into romantic films. A film from Mexico.
