SANTO DOMINGO.- Dominican actor and director Manny Pérez announced the making of his new film, “La vida chueca” (Crooked Life), a film that, he advanced, will be made in the underworld, for everyone. Written and directed by the protagonist of "Rope", "Crooked Life" will feature the participation of Pérez, Carlos Sánchez, Lia Lockhart, Juan Fernández, Dominique Telemaque and the special participation of Ovandy Camilo, La Pitonisa, El Nephew and Splou.

"Life chueca will not romanticize the underworld. It will humanize it. Here there are no cartoon villains. There are decisions, there is pride, there are open wounds. It is a story born on the corner, but told for everyone, because everyone, at some point, has bent," said Manny Pérez.

The story will be about a formerly half-lame shoeshine man who believes he can fix his life by paying off a mortal debt. However, between a lost son, a love that still burns, and a brother who won't let go, he discovers that the real price is not the debt, but family.
