Pantelion Films is a joint venture between Lionsgate and Mexican media group Televisa aimed at producing and distributing Spanish-language films in the United States. One of their recent releases, "A La Mala," tells the story of aspiring actress Maria Laura "Mala" Santos, played by Mexican actress Aislinn Derbez.
Mala is struggling to make it in the competitive world of Mexican telenovelas, but she finds a new opportunity when she's hired by a woman named Lulu to test her boyfriend's faithfulness. Mala is supposed to seduce the man and see if he will cheat on Lulu. But as Mala gets to know the man, she starts to have doubts about the plan and wonders if it's worth putting her own integrity on the line.
"A La Mala" is a romantic comedy that explores themes of love, trust, and honesty. The film, directed by Pedro Pablo Ibarra, was well-received by audiences and critics alike, and it helped to solidify Pantelion Films' position as a top distributor of Spanish-language films in the United States.
