Mercado de Lagrimas is an attempt to revive the film Noir
from the post Second World War inspired by the Latin American surrealism,
Italian Neo realism, and American camp. Evoking with its main character, larger
than life Mexican movie diva: Maria Felix, whose beauty conquered the world in
the 1940's and 1950's, and her liaisons with some of the most important artists
of the world at the time, created a myth an icon and inspire an entire country
and until these days she is considered a national treasure.
The movie takes
place inside the writer's head, where he takes us into a tour of his
psyche. He shows us a mix between movie
divas, surrealistic painters, renaissance poets, Mexican wrestlers and
contemporary socialites. Immaculately

and Gabbana, Chanel, Ali Reza, Nong, Betabrand, Featuring the exclusive jewelry

Risks and challenges Learn about accountability on
Kickstarter
We are very confident in our project, and we truly
believe in what we are doing. We have an amazing team of collaborators and we
are committed 100%.
Our biggest obstacle is to have the funds to finish the
longer version of Mercado de Lagrimas. We understand kickstarter is all or
nothing, so we are hoping you will help us to achieve our goal!
