About El paraíso ya no es lo que era
Mercedes (Neus Asensi) Mariángeles (Ana Risueño) and Carmen (Miriam Diaz Aroca) need to escape something: the stress of the job, a divorce or a gray and boring existence. And all three are looking for something: a love affair in an exotic country. The destination is Tunisia, land of contrasts, from the deserts and beaches. But far from land into a paradise unprecedented journey undertaken with a group of quirky characters.
Directed by Francesc Betriu, El paraíso ya no es lo que era leans on a strong ensemble — Miriam Díaz-Aroca, Neus Asensi, Ana Risueño — 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 comedy titles of 2001.
