After industrialization ended economic activity and filled the inhabitants of the fishing island of Santa María del Mar with disappointment, their destiny is about to take a turn with the opportunity for a fish packing company to settle in the town. The only requirement: convince a doctor to move there.
"A Mexican remake of the 2003 Canadian film Seducing Doctor Lewis, directed by Jean-François Pouliot (which, in turn, had another remake in 2013 starring Brendan Gleeson). This version of "The Great Seduction" arrives another 10 years later, in 2023, to tell a similar story: the fishing island Santa María del Mar has lost its jobs due to industrialization, and its only hope is for a company to install a fish packing plant in the village. But there's a requirement: the village must have a doctor. A difficult task on such a remote island, but when a doctor arrives to complete their temporary residence, the entire village organizes to "seduce" them and convince them to stay... at any cost. What this version of "The Grand Seduction" lacks in originality, it makes up for with charisma: the cast is led by Guillermo Villegas (famous for the comedic character "Lieutenant Harina") and is rounded out by names like Eligio Meléndez (Dream in Another Language), Mercedes Hernández (Identifying Features), Yalitza Aparicio (Roma), and Héctor Jiménez (Nacho Libre)."
