Time Share is a Mexican production film that features an interesting storyline about family vacation in a resort that leaves the audience intrigued from beginning to end. The film offers a mix of drama and thriller that will keep you glued to your screen. Here is a complete synopsis and review of Time Share.
Synopsis
Time Share was released in 2018 and produced by Circe Films in collaboration with Netflix. The director of the movie is Sebastian Hofmann and it stars Luis Gerardo Mendez, Cassandra Ciangheroti, and Miguel Rodarte in the lead roles.
The movie opens with the scene of Andres and Gloria grieving the loss of their child. They both work as athletic trainers in a resort and the loss has taken a toll on Andres. Five years after the loss, a family with one child visits the same resort for their vacation. The family comprises of the father, Pedro, mother, Eva, and their child, Raton.
On their first night, a mistake happens where their room is double-booked with Abel’s family, who also have three children. Pedro and Abel go to the guest reception to resolve the issue. They find out the resort has overbooked, and one room has been reserved for two families. They negotiate and offer compensation to allow both families to share the same room. Abel accepts the offer, but Pedro is not entirely happy with it. However, they decide to make the best of the situation as there are no available resorts in the vicinity.
The two families start sharing the room and enjoying their vacation together, with Eva and Raton becoming close to Abel’s family. Pedro, on the other hand, feels uncomfortable with Abel’s family getting too close to his wife and child. Andres, who still works at the resort as a laundry person, has some underlying storyline himself. He is not happy with his wife, Gloria, who works at the resort too and is getting more successful than him. Gloria has been selected for a marketing seminar that Andres wanted to attend. His unhappiness leads him to leak Pedro’s family records to him. Pedro is furious and confronts the resort publicly during a seminar that Gloria heads, which leads to disastrous consequences.
Conclusion
Time Share is a movie that portrays how the perfect family vacation can turn into a nightmare, which shocks the audience from start to finish. The movie subtly points toward the underlying evils of the hospitality industry, how staff at resorts can quickly become pawns in a game to upsell to customers, and how even private data of customers can be misused for business gain. If you want to watch a unique movie with an engaging storyline, then Time Share is an excellent choice.
