Netflix's latest Mexican thriller, No One Saw Us Leave, follows a mother's relentless search for her children after they are taken away by their own father. Yes, a classic instance of parental kidnapping. Based on Tamara Trottner's memoir, Nadie nos vio patir, this series gives us a sneak peek into Tamara's childhood when her biological parents were separated and her father took her and her brother away to Israel.
At the center of the story is Valeria Goldberg, a mother of two who teams up with a former Mossad agent and P.I., Elias, to find her children. When her husband Leo came to know about Valeria's extramarital affair with his brother-in-law, Carlos, he decided to take his children away from their mother.
He took the children under the pretense of taking them on a two-day vacation, but Valeria had no idea Leo was secretly leaving Mexico. Leo took the children all across Europe and even to South Africa before reaching their final destination, Israel.
Leo knew that Interpol was behind him, and he had to confuse them so that they would not be able to track him or the children. To know whether Valeria can find her children and whether she gets custody of them, watch No One Can Leave Us only on Netflix.
Apart from the direction and plot, what makes the story so heartfelt is the cast. The cast brings out the raw emotions, and that's one of the pivotal reasons why it feels so real.
