What is the meaning of life if one forgets their whole existence?
TIFF favorite “Beloved Tropic” upends the generational tropes of a dying person imparting wisdom to the youth. Instead, this feature doesn’t shy away from the darker questions asked only when facing the afterlife.
The official logline reads: “A Colombian immigrant (Jenny Navarrete) employed as a home health aide harbors a secret while developing an unexpected bond with a wealthy businesswoman (Paulina Garcia) struggling with dementia.”
The film takes place in Panama City.
Ana Endara directs the feature from a script she co-wrote with Pilar Moreno. Isabella Galvez and Joan Gomez Endara produce. Nicolas Wong Diaz is the cinemaographer.
“The film explores the need to care for the parents who took care of us and the possibility of seeing them turn into children while reflecting our own difficulty in taking care of ourselves as we age,” Endara said in a press statement.
