Pedro Infante’s Tomb, Mexico City
Set in Santa Cecilia, an imaginary town in Mexico, the film tells the story of Miguel, a boy determined to emulate his musical hero Ernesto De La Cruz, a character who has more than a little in common with the late singer and actor Pedro Infante. The extravagant, house-size tomb that Miguel enters is actually based on Infante’s tomb in Mexico City’s Panteon Jardín. Since Infante’s death in a plane crash in 1957, crowds have flocked to the tomb on the anniversary of his death each April.
