Rosa, a contemporary music composer, agrees to give her first television interview at her colleague Tere's apartment to keep it secret from her husband. What begins as a simple professional conversation turns into an absurd and comic portrait of rivalries and affections among three women--Rosa, Tere, and Tere's daughter Luisa--interrupted by power outages, a constantly barking dog, and the visit of a famous composer. As the interview unravels, family and artistic tensions surface, revealing, with humor, both the fragility of prestige and the strength of complicity.

In Mexico’s macho culture, it’s refreshing to see the film’s female characters see through the men’s studied masculinity and respond not with angry vitriol but with bemused amusement. What fools these mortals be. Go to Full Review Paula Farmer culturevulture.net Sep 29, 2026

That Everything Else is Noise can thread such a needle in such a short amount of time speaks to a clear talent in Pereda, and one that must be seen to be not only believed, but felt deeply. Go to Full Review Alan Zilberman Washington City Paper Sep 17, 2026
This is funny and withering, albeit in an indirect way, a critique of lazy nonfiction techniques that suggests careful observation has more truth than any sound bite. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
