García
Garcia is a mild-mannered, ordinary man with an ordinary life. As a lowly guard, he struggles to fulfill his wedding promise to his beautiful wife Amalia, of buying a house even if it is a decrepit ranchette in the outskirts of town. As the day of purchase arrives, his wife is kidnapped and as ransom he is ordered to kill an unknown woman. Desperately torn between saving his wife and his own fears, Garcia is thrown into a world of very strange characters, violence, sex and drugs – all unknown to him.
Production notes
Garcia is not just a quirky love story about a couple growing old together; it’s a story that explores the spectrum of love, hate, and passion that can emerge from various relationships. The movie is not without its fair share of sex, drugs, and violence, but the characters avoid cliches by mocking them and turning them into unexpected comedic situations in which the complexity of their character is revealed.
