“Mariana Chenillo’s sophomore feature displays a warmth and delight in life that couldn't be further from the dark humor of her acclaimed debut, Nora’s Will. This unpretentious romantic comedy about a happy overweight couple from the suburban middle-class neighborhood Satélite (the “paradise” of the title) takes refreshingly unexpected turns, as their move to Mexico City launches them both on a journey of self-discovery.” —Film at Lincoln Center
