The film

Same name.
Wrong man.

A mistaken-identity comedy with friendship, family and immigration at its heart.

When the wrong Juan is swept up in a deportation, the other Juan is forced into a life that isn't his — including a place in the spotlight. What begins as an absurd mix-up becomes a story about the people behind the paperwork, the families caught in between, and how far one man will go for someone he barely knows.

Cristo Fernández in dual roles

Meet both
Juans.

Cristo Fernández asJuan ValdezThe actor suddenly forced to live someone else's reality.

Cristo Fernández asJuan CortezA father whose life is upended when the system gets the wrong man.

One actor. Two men with the same first name — living very different versions of the American experience.

With

Esai
Morales

The antagonist at the center of the pressure closing in around the Juans.

Morales brings weight, authority and humanity to a character designed to be more than a conventional villain — a man with his own history, conflicts and reasons for the choices he makes.

Directed by

Gary “Gaz”
Alazraki

Comedy with scale, character and cultural specificity.

The filmmaker behind Nosotros los Nobles, Club de Cuervos and Father of the Bride, Alazraki's work combines broad entertainment with character-driven comedy about family, class and culture.

The tone

Laugh first.
Then it lands.

A crowd-pleaser

Mistaken identity, escalating complications and a dual performance at the center of it all. The comedy is warm, fast and character-driven.

Something real underneath

Beneath the comedy is a story about deportation, belonging and the families caught inside an impersonal system. The film doesn't stop to lecture; the characters carry the meaning.
