"Nobody raised us for this. 'They' are allowed to be motherfuckers. Determination they call it... So, blame it all."
With this shocking phrase, said by a boss to her trusted employee, it could be summed up what
The Boss
, Netflix's new hit,
is about at first .
This film,
starring Aitana Sánchez-Gijón
, landed on the
streaming
platform very recently and is still among the top positions.
Aitana Sánchez-Gijón and Cumulen Sanz.
This
psychological thriller
, released in theaters last April, begins by offering a hard story of how many women have to be strong if they want to survive in the workplace jungle in particular... and in life in general.
HELP POISONED
A stark portrait of a macho society
in which
Beatriz (played by Aitana Sánchez-Gijón)
, a woman who heads a successful textile company, trusts
Sofía (Cumelen Sanz)
, a young girl who has just been hired by her to turn her into not only in his assistant, but in something greater.
Although, in reality, that drama soon turns into something far more sinister...

Above all, when
an unexpected pregnancy shakes up the life of this young woman
who has come from Latin America to Madrid to build a future for herself.
She is a determined, restless, serious and responsible girl.
All virtues that her boss knows how to take advantage of to turn her into someone in her image and her likeness.
And, what is worse, to get him to depend on her.
That's when
a psychological thriller starts
that surely explains the success of
The Boss
on Netflix and that talks about motherhood in a situation of abuse of power.
A drama that happens to be located in a house where
the young woman feels imprisoned by her 'owner'.
Fran Torres' film went through theaters in April.
Job advice, ideas about her personal future, economic assistance and even health issues are the "weapons" that the boss Beatriz uses as if she were a spider to catch her pupil.
A game of total dependency
that will make this girl doubt whether to continue with her Colombian boyfriend or not, if it is better to have an abortion or if her own ideas are hers or advanced by her boss.
Phrases like "you help me and I'll help you" or "you'll stay by my side" or "sometimes we can't do what's perfect, only the best possible" are heard
in some dialogues to frame.
Beatriz is Sofia's 'peculiar' boss.
GREAT AITANA SÁNCHEZ-GIJÓN
The director of
La jefa
is Fran Torres
, a director who is making his feature film debut after having directed shorts such as
Hoy x ti Mañana x mi
and
Duelo
.
For her part,
Laura Sarmiento Pallarés
(
Intimacy
,
We were songs
) has written the script.
Cumelen Sanz, the great discovery of this film, is
a 22-year-old Argentine actress
who holds her own against
an enormous Aitana Sánchez-Gijón.
An interpreter who once again demonstrates her acting ability in a drama in which we see how her character gradually reveals details of her true personality.
Only
the presentation of Beatriz in her office, serious and observant
of how her future pupil moves, is a declaration of intent.
Although that is only the beginning of a portrait of a woman who feels weaknesses, who doubts but never hints at insecurities.
Not even with a couple of friends who have known her well for years.
