While driving an empty road, Verónica, a 40-year-old woman, is distracted by her cell phone and hits something in the road. Scared, she drives on, but anxieties about the possibilities of what she could have hit begins to dislocate her from those around her, as she becomes aware of the inconsistencies of her own social environment. Presented as a low-key thriller, The Headless Woman, echoes its horror movie title in its dissection of bourgeois life.
