Previously, the film was going to be released on the Netflix platform, it had even been advertised on all the company’s social networks and content such as trailers and images had been shared, then there was a delay in its exhibition and it is now that Sony takes the project. The film will be released on more than three thousand screens throughout Mexico on March 23 of this year through Sony Pictures Releasing International, the statement stated.
Directed and produced by Luis Estrada (“Herod’s Law”, “Hell”, “The Perfect Dictatorship”) and with a story and script by himself and Jaime Sampietro (“Hell”), the film stars Damián Alcázar , Alfonso Herrera, Joaquín Cosío, Ana de la Reguera, Ana Martín and Angelina Peláez. Sandra Solares is the executive producer.
“‘Hurray Mexico!’ it is an acid social fable and a poisonous political satire; grotesque with a lot of black humor that, like a soulless mirror, shows us and portrays everyone in these times of polarization and intolerance but not in a realistic or naturalistic tone, but with the distortion that parody, farce, magical realism and caricature give. All framed in that little personal hell to which we all belong and that we all have and suffer, for better or worse: The WFamily, says director Luis Estrada.

But the mere presence of “Pancho”, his grandfather’s favorite, considered by his entire family as an arrogant and ungrateful braggart; and the possibility that he is one of the heirs in the willarouse old feelings of envy and hatred that have been on the surface for a long time, causing a great battle.
A kind of war in which everything is at stake to fight for the inheritance between “Pancho” and his folksy and vulgar family: “The Kings of Prosperity”.
