A History of Love and War

Overview

In this outrageous comedy, a wild soap opera unfolds as a shady property developer stands trial linked to Mexico's turbulent past. Directed by Santiago Mohar Volkow, Una historia de amor y guerra focuses on the real estate mogul Pepe Sánchez-Campo, whose ambitious mall project clashes with local guerrilla fighters. For once, Pepe's usual tactics of bribery and relying on his father may not save him – he’s even more absurd than the telenovela surrounding him. Meanwhile, his cousin and secret lover Teo attempts to disrupt his marriage to Constanza by catching Pepe in an affair. This leads to a chaotic showdown filled with betrayal, talking animals, colonial tales, and negotiations in the afterlife.
