GLOWSTAR MEDIA, a company led by Silvana D’Angelo, has finalized an agreement with BANANAS FILMS for the distribution of this comedy about broken bonds, unexpected living arrangements, and second chances for a father and daughter. The most valuable recipe isn’t found in the kitchen, but in the heart.

“POR LA VIDA”, the new feature film directed by Gonzalo Mejía, is a heartwarming family comedy that blends emotion and humor in a story of reconnection—one with a strong Latin identity and international appeal. Set in Miami—a multicultural city—the film authentically reflects the bilingual dynamics and daily life of new-generation Hispanics in the United States.

Starring DAVID CHOCARRO (100 días para enamorarnos, Mi verdad Oculta) and ELENY REYES, the film tells the story of Gerónimo—a highly structured man who left his corporate life behind to pursue a career in baking—whose routine is upended when his daughter, Clarissa—with whom he hasn’t had a relationship for years—is forced to serve her house arrest at his home.

THE STORY

What begins as a forced cohabitation between two strangers bound by blood transforms into a delightful journey filled with tension, humor, and irony—one in which both find the opportunity to confront the things they could never say to one another and, quite unexpectedly, reconnect. Amidst cakes, failed recipes, and heartfelt confessions, *POR LA VIDA* offers a sensitive and optimistic perspective on family bonds and the possibility of rebuilding them.

With a feel-good tone that strikes a perfect balance between humor and emotion, the film stands out as a fresh, relatable, and universal take on the parent-child bond—one with a special ability to resonate deeply with Latin audiences.
