As the economic crisis hits the country, Sofia and Fernando's investments and businesses begin to crumble. Their elegant mansion, once a symbol of their status, starts losing value, and their access to easy credit and resources dwindles.

As their financial situation worsens, Sofia is forced to confront her own privilege and entitlement. She starts to question her values and the shallow nature of her social circle. Gradually, she recognizes the flawed society she belongs to and the corruption that perpetuates the vast wealth disparities in Mexico. Sofia's relationships with her close friends, who are also part of the elite class, are strained as they face similar challenges and undergo personal crises triggered by the economic downturn.

Seeking stability amidst the chaos, Sofia tries to bring her family together and protect her young daughter from the harsh realities they face. She realizes the importance of genuine human connections and seeks solace in the company of those who offer some form of support and understanding.

Directed by Alejandra Márquez Abella, The Good Girls provides a thought-provoking exploration of the social and economic tensions prevalent within Mexican society during the 1982 economic crisis. It portrays the psychological and emotional journey of Sofia as she navigates the downfall of her privileged world, ultimately finding strength and resilience in the face of adversity.
