Chilangolandia

Chilangolandia (2021) is a Mexican comedy you can watch online on iFILM, and its real star is Mexico City itself — loud, sprawling, stitched together from a million small lives.

Ramiro drives a cab and pins his hopes on a nephew he's sure will become a football star. Carmen and Miguel stumble into a suitcase stuffed with cash — money that belongs to a crooked congressman who wants it back fast. Meanwhile a charmer nicknamed El Chulo falls for the wrong woman, the girlfriend of a local gang boss, and has to run. One small mistake knots every thread together.

Director Carlos Santos shoots his hometown without postcards: traffic, street markets and a soft spot for the underdog. It's a warm, overlapping ensemble for anyone who likes their farce crowded and good-natured. Stream Chilangolandia online on iFILM.
