Almost Paradise is presented as part of a Latin American Film Festival, with both an in-person screening and virtual streaming available.
The film is a Mexican comedy based on Luis Spota's satirical novel, reimagined for a world of social media fame and viral scandals. It follows Ugo Conti, a charismatic Italian count and influencer who arrives in Mexico and charms the country's elite with his style and European sophistication, becoming a symbol of malinchismo, the fascination with all things foreign, while exposing elitism and corruption. When he reunites with Frida Becker, a love from his past, he is drawn into a struggle for political power, and once his secret comes out, the circles that once adored him turn against him.
The film is in Spanish, Italian and English with English subtitles, and stars Andrea Arcangeli, Karol Sevilla, Miguel Rodarte and Esmeralda Pimentel.
