Why watch this film?
Marina wins a paradise vacation for two, but when she realizes that she has no one to bring along, she decides to invite a stranger to join her. The pair soon discovers that true love depends more on compatibility rather than idyllic scenery.
"This is a Mexican romance that, with a natural and modest aesthetic, deviates from genre clichés to touch on hard truths about love, without sacrificing comedy. 'Párpados azules' is the feature debut from Mexican filmmaker Ernesto Contreras, and it was nominated at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, as well as winning awards at the Ariel Awards, the Guadalajara Film Festival, and the Special Jury Prize at Sundance. There's no doubt that Ernesto Contreras started his film career off on the right foot with this movie, which you should watch if you claim to know Mexican cinema."
