expand to view more [+]

A humorous and inspiring story about the dreams shared by four beautiful and ambitious women from four corners of Mexico. A shy indigenous girl from Oaxaca, a formerly chubby rich girl, a troubled factory worker from Ciudad Juarez, where women disappear and a flamboyant hairstylist from a poor section of Mexico City coincide in one thing: the search for fame and success. They participate along with thousand of girls in a talent search to cast the lead for the movie, María Enamorada that a successful producer of a popular soap opera wants to make. But the soap opera’s extravagant “diva” expects to get the part for herself … whatever it takes. He will have to fight against threats, promises, and pressure until he finds the jewel that will become the new “star” of Mexico. An intelligent comedy that touches on racism, gender identity, body image and the sex industry while it takes us on the road to the glamorous world of the Almost Divas. Director: Issa Lopez, 2008, Mexico, 107 minutes. Spanish with English subtitles

Winner of the Jury Award at the Los Angeles International Latino Film Festival. Join Casi Divas director Issa Lopez for a question and answer session following the screening of her film!
