The latter was also accompanied by her fiancé Mauricio Ochmann. "Compadres" is in theaters now and you can check out photos of the red carpet event below!
Camila Sodi recently sat down for an interview with LatinTimes to talk about this project. "With all the characters I do, I tend to have something in common," she said about her character in "Compadres." "She’s a strong, decisive woman, who also wants to help, which I had lots of fun playing. She’s a northerner from Mexicali; I loved doing the accent; I loved getting to know Ensenada and that part of my country I hadn’t been to which is gorgeous."
"Compadres" is the story of Mexican cop Garza (Omar Chaparro) who seeks revenge on Santos (Erick Elias) after being release from prison. Santos has kidnapped his girlfriend Maria (Aislinn Derbez) and framed him for a crime he didn’t commit. With the help of his former boss Coronado (José Sefami), Garza manages to escape with a tip about how to find Santos which leads him to San Diego in search of an “accountant.” This said accountant is responsible for stealing $10 million dollars from Santos and may know Santos’ whereabouts. When Garza arrives, he is shocked to find that the infamous accountant is a 17 year old American computer hacker named Vic (Joey Morgan). Despite an immediate disdain for each other, these two divided by culture, language and age, realize that Garza’s low tech brain and Vic’s high tech hacker skills may be their only chance at finding Santos before he finds them.
