Morir de amor

In Los Angeles, Beatriz, a young working woman, lives a self-destructive relationship with a heroin addict who is willing to pay any price to cover his need to get high. For his part, in the city of Guadalajara, Alejandro Maldonado, maintains a codependent relationship in a marriage that has exceeded the limit of what is tolerable with his wife Olga; an unsatisfied woman, who eagerly looks for men to satisfy her addiction to sex. When the lives of these characters intersect, an exit to their conflicts is visualized in the search for specialized help.

Directed by Jorge Araujo, Morir de amor leans on a strong ensemble — Juliette Jeffers, Patricia Lupercio, Diahann Elise — 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 drama titles of 2018.
