Film Review .

Paraiso Travel is a Colombian movie, developed both in Colombia and in USA, more specifically in Medellin and New York. Its screen-writer is Jorge Franco; really it is a novel, which has broken box-office records in Colombia.  The Director, Simon Brand has won approximately 4 awards with this movie.
The plot of this movie takes into account one of the most relevant problems between the countries when it was filmed: The drama of the undocumented in USA. Probably, this problem already is being solved, however is not a lie that few years ago was common this kind of situation.  
 The movie is about one girl, Reina, who wants to realize the American dream, but she doesn’t have visa. For this reason She starts convincing her boyfriend, Marlon,  to travel , because supposedly They are going to have more and better opportunities in NY.   So he doesn’t want to bring her down, and he starts to back her up.  Finally they leave his perfect life in Medellin; they flee to Guatemala and Mexico, to finally arriving to USA. In this trip they have to life different circumstances, they broke up, and around that they finish living their worst dream. You never go to imagine its authentic ending.
 Although every problem that have to live the characters, the audience can see an authentic romance and mushy movie.  It has received good critics not only by the plot, but also by the lighting, setting and the actors like Margarita Rosa, Ana de la Reguera , German Jaramillo , Angelica Blandon and the starring : Raul Castillo who represents Marlon.
