Amapola (Poppy)
 

Director: Luis Mandoki

Cast: Daniel Giméz Cacho, Diego Luna
 

Amapola is based on a true story that deals with the topic of friendship, ambition and the loyalty of two friends that devoted themselves to organize the cultivation of the poppy to provide morphine to American soldiers during the Second World War. The actions of both will have repercussions in the future and in the life of anti-drug agent, Saúl Garza, who investigates an organization of drug traffickers in San Diego, California.

 

Based on a script written by novelist Vicent Leñero, directed by Luis Mandoki, with the stellar acting of Mexican Diego Luna, it is an ambitious production. The film is expected to cost 10 million dollars and to have an American actor, whose identity is still unknown, as the co-protagonist with Diego Luna. The movie has been postponed a long time because of financial reasons.
