What happens

Lucca's World (Spanish: Los dos hemisferios de Lucca) is a 2025 Mexican drama film directed by Mariana Chenillo. The film stars Bárbara Mori as Bárbara Anderson, a mother of a child with cerebral palsy. Based on actual events and a book of the same name, the film details Anderson’s efforts to secure medical treatment for her son, Lucca, after he received a serious diagnosis. It examines the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities and their caregivers and portrays the role of family support. As information rather than entertainment, the film has been heavily criticised as spreading a "fantastical message" and being supportive of expensive equipment for which no evidence has been published, and which has been found to be ineffective.
