"Guadalupe", is a Dos Corazones Film, Directed by Santiago Parra, starring the legendary Latin Actor, Pedro Armendariz, (The Legend of Zorro, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, The Mexican, The Mask of Zorro and Amistad). Also starring is Angelica Aragon (A Walk in the Clouds, La Mujer De Mi Hermano and From Mexico with Love) along with acclaimed Spanish talents of the likeliness of Ivana Mino, and Aleix Albaredo.

The film was shot on location in Barcelona, Cataluña, Montserrat, Spain; Papantla, El Tajín, San Miguel de Allende and the Desert of the Lions, in Mexico City.
The story unfolds in present times when two scientists who have dedicated their lives to archaeology and history, decide to investigate the validity of the legendary apparition of the Virgin Mary of Guadalupe on a Mantel at Tepeyac, Mexico. Motivated by their curiosity and past, they have no way of knowing what this journey will inspire or change in the course of their own lives, and unexpected things happen as they find scientific proof that the image left behind, printed in the mantel of a humble native, was no painting of any sorts, but rather a divine imagery with a life of its own.
The Versatile Group of Hollywood and Storm Entertainment's alliance to represent this film in Cannes is one of obvious choices from both a filmmaker's and marketing standpoint, and claim to be very excited and honored by the opportunity to represent a film that inspires hope and faith in the eyes of the viewers, says Marisela D'Baldriche, CEO of the Versatile Group of Hollywood.
The Producer Pablo Jose Barroso-Barroso of Dos Corazones Films, state that the film already has a track record having performed successfully in its limited promotional releases in the US, Mexico and Canada in December 2006.
Michael Heuser, states that from a marketing standpoint, the name alone says it all, which is by far the best promotion the film could ever hope to achieve. He says the name Guadalupe is a commodity, a Brand" name with worldwide recognition.
The film is an inspirational drama with a message, that dates back to 1531 at the time of the recorded apparition of the Virgin Mary to Juan Diego at Tepeyac in the Yucatan Peninsula, when she said "NO ESTOY YO AQUI QUE SOY TU MADRE" "AM I NOT HERE THAT I AM YOUR MOTHER" a message that brought forth an image so profound that it was able to convey the much needed hope of those days that helped unite the Americas.
