What happens in Bad Influence?
Bruce (Arce) is increasingly overprotective of his daughter, a teen ballerina named Reese (Rochera). It’s not wholly without reason: Reese has a stalker whose identity she doesn’t know, and she may be in grave danger. So millionaire Bruce hires the brooding Eros (Olmo) as his child’s bodyguard. Eros, who’s been living in and out of foster care and juvenile detention, is intrigued by his privileged protectee — though he’s on strict orders from Bruce to ensure his relationship with Reese never becomes personal. Stubborn Reese, on the other hand, is frustrated about having a bodyguard at all, claiming it’s social suicide at the prestigious private school she attends. As the two are forced to spend time together amid the threats against Reese — including intimidation and bullying by her ex-boyfriend, Raúl (Fraga) — their bond deepens, despite the odds.
