"La Pura Vida" tells the story of Nana who has to deal with the overbearing family of her boyfriend and overall abuse. Nana and Fili live in Tijuana, Mexico, and try to make ends meet but struggle with money. Fili's parents, Oscar and Angie, are on their way from their home in Valle de Guadalupe (the wine country in Baja California) to their second home in Cozumel. They stop uninvited to Nana's house. The parents slowly invade her space, making it theirs, and in the course of it destroy her fragile couple with her husband-to-be.
Based on a true story, this dark comedy was shot on a $24,500 budget with a one-man crew over a four-month period. |
