Paradise (Spanish: Paraíso) is a 2013 Mexican romantic comedy-drama film written and directed by Mariana Chenillo.[1] It features Andrés Almeida and Daniela Rincón.[2] It is based on the first tale of the book Paraíso y otros cuentos incómodos by Julieta Arévalo.[3]
Carmen and Alfredo have been dating since high school and live in Ciudad Satélite, where they are safe from having to fit into a society obsessed with the perfect body, despite the fact that they are both obviously overweight. But when Alfredo is offered a new job and they move to Mexico City, Carmen decides to change her body and that of her husband. As one of the two loses weight at a rapid rate, an inevitable chasm yawns between them.[2][4]
