About Ella y el Candidato
Luis Fernando and Lorena are the image of a happy marriage, with three children and a life full of achievements. But this changes completely when Luis decides to run again for the Mexican presidency. This opens a new perspective on their lives, and new challenges to keep this family together.
Directed by Roberto Girault, Ella y el Candidato leans on a strong ensemble — Hector Arredondo, Rocío Verdejo, Daniel Martínez — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2011.
