May 30, 2024 – After The House of Flowers (2018) and Someone Has to Die (2020), director Manolo Caro and actress Cecilia Suárez will once again bring their talents together in Serpientes y Escaleras, a new comedy that revolves around ambition, power, and glory. In this story, filmed in Guadalajara, Cecilia will play a teacher who gets involved in a fight between two students, and what seems to be an insignificant event will completely change her life.

Manolo and Cecilia have also collaborated together in the films I Don’t Know Whether to Slit My Wrists or Leave Them Long (2013) (SEE BELOW), Elvira I Will Give You My Life But I’m Using It (2014), Tales of an Immoral Couple (2016) and Perfect Strangers (2018).

“Serpientes y Escaleras is a project I’ve been working on for several years, it’s comedy, dark, sexy and incorrect. In short, it’s a return to the genre that makes me happiest, but with the learning from the last projects. It’s crazy,” says the Mexican director.

Joining Cecilia Suárez in the cast are Juan Pablo Medina, Martiño Rivas, Marimar Vega, Benny Emmanuel, Loreto Peralta, Michelle Rodríguez, Alfredo Gatica, Germán Bracco, Gerardo Trejoluna, and Luis Felipe Tovar, with a special performance by Margarita Gralia.
