Alfonso Cuarón’s film Roma (2018) follows Cleo, a live-in domestic worker for a middle-class family in the Colonia Roma of Mexico City in the early 1970s. When Cleo is pregnant, doña Teresa, the children’s grandmother, takes her to a furniture store to buy a crib.
Later, on a beach, Cleo walks into the sea to bring the children out of the waves, although she cannot swim. In 2019 the film won the Oscar for best foreign language film.
