I love Mexico because a mexican content creator saw Emilia PĆ©rez, the truly atrocious way it handled mexican culture and the terrible issues of drug cartels killing and kidnapping people, and all the recognition it's getting, and she went "actually we SHOULD do something about this"
So now she's written, produced, choreographed, starred in, and directed a 30 min independent film that's basically what Emilia PĆ©rez looks like from a mexican perspective. It's full of French stereotypes including mimes and (fake) rats everywhere, the ghost of Marie Antoinette, and Ladybug and Chat Noir.
It's an enemies to lovers rom-com, a musical, both leads are trans actors, it has three original songs, and some very VERY bad French. It follows baguette heiress Johanne Sacreblu, whose family has been challenged to a duel by a prominent croissant-making family in order to prove which type of bread best represents France. So, Johanne must battle the croissant family's son, Agtugo, in a French-ness duel to prove that baguettes truly represent French culture better than croissants.
The entire film was made from start to finish in, I believe, under a week. It's on YouTube for anyone to watch, and there is talk of it potentially being shown in some movie theaters.
Moral of the story, don't mess with Mexicans, because they will hit back and they will be funnier and better organised than you XD
