The Latin American premiere of Acusada (2018), a Mexican-Argentinean co-production by director Gonzalo Tobal, took place at the 16th edition of the Morelia International Film Festival (FICM). The screening was attended by Julio Chavezmontes, producer of the film, and Rogelio Sosa, composer of the film's score.

Julio Chavezmontes said that  "Acusada is a very different and brave proposal because it is a film with an acting discourse, but at the same time, it has a plot that allows access to the audience, which can entertain you if it is the reading that you want to give it, but that it goes into much more depth and talks about something very important in terms of today's society".

On his part, the composer Rogelio Sosa added that "In musical terms, it is an interesting film, just because of the type of narrative, and even more so when it's accompanied by music like the one you are going to listen to. The director had a very particular interest, especially in the subject of sound and the possibility that cinema has, on a symbiotic level, to arrive in a very emotional way, with textures and musical environments ".

This feature tells the story of Dolores, who leads the life of any young high-class student her age until her best friend shows up brutally murdered. Two years later, she is the only one accused of the crime. Dolores prepares for the trial completely isolated at home, while her parents work as a team willing to do everything to defend her. They have come to obsessively control her entire world: what she looks like, what she does, what she eats and who she sees.
