La Chilindrina en apuros (Spanish: Chilindrina in trouble) is a 1994 Mexican comedy and adventure film directed by Juan Antonio de la Riva, co-written by José Luis Carreño and Francisco Sánchez, and starring María Antonieta de las Nieves, Lorena Velázquez, Isaura Espinoza and Lili Inclán.
La Chilindrina (María Antonieta de las Nieves), a girl from a vecindad in Mexico City, known for her mischievous behavior in the sitcom El Chavo del Ocho, travels to a city on the west coast of Mexico to claim a jewel that she inherited from a distant relative. She is accompanied by her great-grandmother, Doña Nieves, another character from El Chavo also portrayed by De las Nieves. During the trip, Doña Nieves gets lost and La Chilindrina must continue on her own, discovering that one of her distant uncles, a clumsy gangster-like man, has stolen the jewel she is claiming.[2][3]
