Cine Las Americas Daily Schedule: Monday

Madeinusa (Peru, Spain)
7 PM, Regal Metropolitan Theater #14
Madeinusa is a girl who lives in an isolated village in the Cordillera Blanca Mountain range of Peru. This strange place is characterized by its religious fervor from Good Friday at three o’clock in the afternoon (the time of day when Christ died on the cross) until Easter Sunday, in which the whole village can do whatever it feels like. During the two holy days, sin does not exist: God is dead and can’t see what is happening. Everything is accepted and allowed without remorse. Year after year, Madeinusa, her sister Chale, and her father Don Cayo—the Mayor and local big shot—maintain this tradition without question. Everything changes with the arrival of Salvador, a young geologist from Lima who will unknowingly change the young girl’s destiny.

Tijuana Makes Me Happy (USA)
9 PM, Regal Metropolitan Theater #14
Indio is a fourteen-year-old boy who lives in Playas de Tijuana. Every day after school, he works at Sacramento’s ranch hoping to buy his own cockfighting rooster, El Gyro. When his dad refuses to help him buy the rooster, Indio starts selling empanadas and washing cars. One day, after he skips school to play with his friends, Indio meets and becomes infatuated with Brianda, a young prostitute working in the red light district. As time passes, Indio learns what it means to make money, a tough journey that takes him across the border, from the slums of Montes Olímpicos to San Diego. Greed, however, takes the best of Indio. Neglecting his rooster, he fights El Gyro to win over the love of Brianda.
