    About

    Aunque visualmente impactante,  El Libro de la Vida brilla en forma única donde se presentan los temas que vemos en todas las películas familiares: la importancia de la familia y la fidelidad a uno mismo. – New Zealand Herald

    En el pueblo mexicano de San Ángel, Manolo (Diego Luna), María (Zoë Saldaña) y Joaquín (Channing Tatum) han sido amigos desde niños. Aunque cada uno tomó un camino distinto —María fue enviada a Europa, Joaquín se unió al ejército y Manolo se preparó para ser torero—, hay algo que no ha cambiado: tanto Manolo como Joaquín quieren casarse con María. Lo que ellos no saben es que dos dioses, que además son esposos y rivales, hicieron una apuesta arriesgada sobre el desenlace de este triángulo amoroso.

    “Though visually eye-popping, where The Book of Life shines is in the unique way it presents the themes we see in all family films; the importance of family and being true to yourself.” – New Zealand Herald

    In the Mexican town of San Angel, Manolo (Diego Luna), Maria (Zoë Saldana) and Joaquin (Channing Tatum) have been friends ever since childhood. Although their lives have taken different paths — Maria was sent to Europe, Joaquin joined the military, and Manolo studied to become a bullfighter — one thing remains the same: Manolo and Joaquin both want to marry Maria. Little does the trio know that battling husband-and-wife deities have made a high-stakes wager on the love triangle’s outcome.
