Cristina and Susana have been best friends since high school. Now in their 30s, their lives are in need of some kind of shaking up. Recently divorced, Cristina is not really prepared for her new status as a single woman; Susana, meanwhile, is moving back into her mother's house. After a bad fight, the two friends decide to keep their distance from each other. And now, both separated, they will have to deal alone with the long line of self-centred, exasperatingly egotistical men around them. Life is unpredictable, though, and something unexpected may soon re-unite them. Shot in gorgeous black and white and inspired by the films of John Cassavetes and Jim Jarmusch (director Maza acknowledges them as big influences), This is Cristina is an offbeat, endearing comedy about changes in life and in love, executive produced by Salma Hayek.&nbsp;
