A Day Without a Mexican
2004 ‘Un Día Sin Mexicanos’ Directed by Sergio Arau
Synopsis
One morning, California wakes up to find that one-third of its population -- the Hispanic third -- has disappeared. A strange pink fog envelops the state, and communication outside its boundaries is completely cut off. The economic, political and social implications of this disaster threaten California's way of life, and for a group of disparate people (all white, except for one Latina), the cracks in their private lives are forced wide open.

This couñd be a great movie... But it wasn't. Looks like a low budget film from the 90's. Poor performance, bad actors, forced sterotype and obvious symbolism. Maybe This movie makes you think how useless would be an american in the camp or a blonde gardener chick working.

I love Sergio Arau's work, but this one is juts impossible to enjoy. Unresolved questions, forced symbolism and cheap jokes destroy what could've been a very interesting premise.
