“Dedicated to My Ex” is the highest-grossing Ecuadorian film in the country’s history and a huge commercial success.
It’s a feature film that tells the story of Ariel (Raúl Santana), a shy 21-year-old boy afraid of change, whose life changes when his girlfriend breaks up with him to move to Finland for an internship.
Determined to win back his true love, Ariel must earn enough money to pay for his plane ticket, and fate will provide the solution: winning a rock battle of the bands, where the prize is $10,000.
The protagonist will do everything in his power to win the contest, and to do so, he’ll have to form a rock band with Ortega (Biassini Segura), his immature and enthusiastic friend; Felicia (Nataly Valencia), an eccentric, rebellious, and talented drummer; and Néstor (Carlos Alcántara), a terrible and decadent middle-aged Christian guitarist.
Directed by Jorge Ulloa, the feature film features renowned Latin American actors such as Carlos Alcántara from Peru, Mariana Treviño and Eugenio Derbez from Mexico, Jorge Enrique Abello and Lorna Cepeda from Colombia; as well as Ecuadorians Alfredo Espinoza, Orlando Herrera, Martha Ormaza, Alex Cisneros, among others. The film has also been very well received on social media due to the appearances of renowned Latin American influencers and YouTubers such as Fernanfloo, Luisito Comunica, Werevertumorro, Mox, Yosstop, Kika Nieto, and Iván Marín.
Co-produced with Dynamo and with Sony Pictures as the main distributor, it was released in Latin American theaters in November 2019 and is currently part of the Netflix and Pantaya catalogs.
