For Love in the Caserio + Q&A - ADIFF NY 2014

Tues, Dec. 9 @ 7PM

Inspired by Romeo and Juliet, this film tells the tale of two young lovers, Cristal and Angelo. They are from opposite ends of a perpetual gang war and live in Puerto Rico's largest public housing project. However, they hope to end the antagonisms that exist between their two families through the pure and genuine love they possess for one another. Shot inside the Luis Llorens Torres, with residents playing most of the roles, this gritty drama explores a world rarely seen in Puerto Rican cinema. For Love in the Caserio is also a testament to the value of films with social critique; the production has helped establish peace among gangs and change many lives in a community known primarily for its drugs and violence. Directed by Luis Enrique Riodriguez, 2013, Puerto Rico, Drama/Action, 100 minutes, Spanish, English subt.
