Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Roma is a 2018 drama film written and directed by Alfonso Cuarón.It is set in Mexico City in 1970-71, and is is a semi-autobiographical take on Cuarón's upbringing. (In fact, the house in the movie is located directly across the street from the house where Cuaron grew up.) The protagonist is Cleodegaria Gutierrez, the live-in maid for an upper-middle class family. She works for Sofia and Antonio, parents of four children, and Antonio's mother Teresa. It eventually becomes clear that Antonio and Sofia's marriage is strained, and Antonio is seizing multiple opportunities to be away from home. Meanwhile, Cleo is dating Fermin, an aspiring martial artist.The June 10, 1971 Corpus Christi massacre is a major plot point.It began being available to stream on Netflix on December 14, 2018, but it has been in limited theatres since November of that year.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })No connection to Federico Fellini's 1972 film Roma.

Bait the Dog: Fermín has a very eccentric establishing scene, where he practices his martial arts in front of Cleo while naked. The way he talks about his past and the poverty he grew up in makes one feel sorry for him. As the film goes on he's shown to be selfish, unempathetic, and much more violent than he first let on. He abandons Cleo when she gets pregnant with his child, threatens her, and has no sympathy. He also ends up violently suppressing protesters at the Massacre.

Author Appeal: Like many of Cuaron's other works, the film's main ending scene takes place in the ocean.
