**Adriana Paz to Star in New Movie by Diego Luna**
Adriana Paz teams up with director Diego Luna for an upcoming cinematic project entitled “Ceniza en la Boca,” adapted from Brenda Navarro’s novel. The film features Paz, a three-time Ariel Award winner, who was recently honored at the Cannes Film Festival for her ensemble role in “Emilia Pérez.”
In this new venture, Paz is set to portray Isabel, a character deeply woven into the narrative of Navarro’s novel. The filming kicks off this month across several stunning locations in Spain and Mexico. The storyline follows Lucila, played by Anna DÃaz, a young woman grappling with familial pressure, misogyny, and racism as she navigates her early twenties. Accompanied by her younger brother Diego, Lucila embarks on a journey to reunite with their mother Isabel, who had immigrated to Spain eight years prior for a better life.
As the plot unfolds, Lucila’s arrival is anything but smooth. The challenges she faces highlight her roots, both positively and negatively, igniting her desire for independence and freedom from being the surrogate caretaker for her brother or enduring underpaid jobs.
Reflecting on the film, Adriana Paz expressed her connection to the story, stating, “It deeply moves and touches me personally. Upon first reading Brenda Navarro’s novel, it resonated profoundly within me. She’s a powerful writer who offers us a wonderful story. Filming in Spain, a place meaningful to me, and collaborating once again with Diego Luna in his dual role as director and screenwriter, fills me with joy and enthusiasm.”
Adriana Paz boasts an illustrious career, having appeared in over 30 films showcased at prestigious festivals worldwide, from Cannes to Toronto to New York and beyond. Her filmography includes “Rudo y Cursi,” “Las Horas Muertas,” and “Spectre,” among others. She gained international recognition in the Spanish film “El Autor,” earning a Goya nomination and starred in her first English language film, “Tijuana Bible.” Her recent projects include “Day of the Dead” and “La Cazadora,” as well as “Sana y Salva,” marking her debut in the Dominican Republic.
