Returning home from a trip to her native El Salvador, Sirena (Christine Stoddard) finds the dead body of her husband, an apparent suicide - and then the pandemic strikes, forcing her into lockdown without even properly giving her husband a farewell. And that's where the problems only start, as you see, Sirena runs a gallery that thrives from its walk-in clients, something unheard of in times of the pandemic, plus the gallery has just wrapped a show so there's not even much art left to sell - and yet, Sirena has to pay for her husband's funeral. And for that she has to completely re-invent herself, learning how to do e-commerce on one hand, and tap back into her own artistic streak to actually create product to sell on the other ...

There was a time when there were lockdown movies of all genres a dime a dozen, and sure enough not all of them good - this one however is, as it goes far beyond being just a series of video calls (though these do feature in here as well) but has actual artistic ambition to it, ambition that is mirrored in some powerful imagery, a focus on the directors own art and its creation as well as interpretation, and of course the film's theme as such. And an original yet relatable plot as well as a engaging performance by Christine Stoddard in the film's center see to it that Sirena's Gallery has turned out to be good yet thoughtful entertainment for sure.
