What happens in Déficit from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 2-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

During a sunlit weekend in a lavish family home in Tepoztlán, a wealthy young man, Cristobal, hosts a sprawling house party with his circle of friends. A driver ferries him to the estate, weaving past a chorus of protesters whose grievances feel distant from the glittering scene inside. Cristobal’s hippie sister, Elisa, has already taken over the grounds with a crew of drug-addled friends from places as far as Brazil and Japan, turning the property into a messy blend of music, revelry, and tension. The two branches of their world—privilege and counterculture—slip together around bottles of alcohol and shared smoke, masking deeper fractures beneath a carefree surface.
