Synopsis of Mexicano... tú puedes
This comedy is a hilarious look at the unique foibles inherent in Mexico's bureaucracy and government, and in the ordinary person's vision of life as well. Already an award-winning screenplay, Mexicano, Tu Puedes might be translated as "Go For It" in U.S. parlance -- and a fed-up mother living in a poor tenement decides to do just that. She sees a very fake ad on television advertising some rich, verdant land open for housing development and, against all reason, cons her reluctant family into building a new home there. Of course the land is one small step away from being an infertile desert, but the woman persists. The results are riotous excursions through the Mexican bureaucracy and the never-say-die soul of a determined mother.
