Paraiso Travel is a 2008 Colombian film, adapted from a novel by Jorge Franco Ramos. Directed by Simon Brand, the film stars Michelle O'Quinn, Louis Arcella, and Angelica Blandon, and is an emotionally-charged road movie around the streets of New York and Colombia, exploring the struggles and sacrifices of immigration. The film portrays the story of Marlon Cruz, a young man from Colombia who, due to a personal heartbreak, decides to seek his fortune in the United States. Along the way, Marlon meets a girl called Reina and they embark on a journey together, trying to navigate their way through the complex world of immigrant life in New York City.

Despite being surrounded by other immigrants from Latin America, Marlon and Reina find themselves isolated and disillusioned. They struggle to make ends meet, living in poor conditions and taking on menial jobs. The problems they face take a toll on their relationship, and they start to question their decision to come to America.

As their situation becomes increasingly dire, Marlon and Reina are drawn to Paraiso Travel, a travel agency that promises to provide its clients with fake documents and a way out of their problems. They decide to risk everything and buy one of the travel packages, unaware of the dangers that lie ahead.

The journey that follows takes them back to Colombia, where they are forced to confront the reality of their situation. They encounter a series of obstacles and dangers, from corrupt police officers to vengeful drug lords. Their experiences on this trip test their strength, their love for each other, and their faith in their dreams.

What is remarkable about Paraiso Travel is the way in which it captures the complex emotions and experiences of immigrants. The film is not simply about the struggles of those who come to America; it's also about the deep-rooted attachment that they often feel towards the country they left behind. Through Marlon and Reina, we see the pain of leaving family and friends, the fear of never being able to return, and the hope that things will be better in the end.

The performances in this film are outstanding, with Michelle O'Quinn and Louis Arcella delivering powerful and nuanced portrayals of their characters. Angelica Blandon is equally compelling as the enigmatic Reina, who is both Marlon's source of strength and the cause of some of his problems.

Paraiso Travel also has a strong visual identity, with stunning shots of Colombia's countryside and cityscapes, as well as gritty depictions of life in New York. The film beautifully captures the contrast between the glamorous image that the United States presents to the world and the harsh realities that many immigrants face.

In conclusion, Paraiso Travel is a moving and authentic portrayal of the immigrant experience. It's a tale of love, loss, perseverance, and hope, and one that resonates with audiences on a deeply emotional level. The film expertly navigates the complexities of immigration, showing that the journey towards a better life is never easy but always worth it.

International Premiere

Paraiso travel.

Reina will do anything to get into the United States. Marlon will do anything to get into Reina's pants. All-consuming desire-hers for the American Dream and his for her heart-will lead these teens on a harrowing odyssey from their middle-class homes in Colombia to the immigrant-thick neighborhoods of New York. Almost immediately upon their arrival at a ramshackle hostel for the dirt poor, Marlon loses his queen on the foreign streets of Queens. Penniless and paranoid about being there illegally, Marlon will have to make his way through a shocking new world on his own. As he searches for Reina, Paraiso Travel flashes back to the horrors they endured on the treacherous path from Medellín through Guatemala and Mexico and finally into the States. With the help of a few sympathetic Colombian immigrants, Marlon slowly builds a new life for himself. The stuttering, sadomasochistic lord of a dingy crash pad (the always brilliant John Leguizamo) takes him under his wing, and he even catches the eye of a ravishing songstress, but his old obsession with that bewitching Reina threatens to destroy every stride Marlon makes toward a new life. Based on the bestselling novel by Jorge Franco, Paraiso Travel is at once scorchingly sexy and brutally honest. Director Simon Brand shows the flipside of the romantic sail past Lady Liberty that is often depicted in film, but he never expects pity for his characters. New York City may be cast as "the monster you'll have to tame," but Brand and cinematographer Rafa Lluch make the battle an awfully gorgeous one.
