Sanky Panky
2007, Spanish. Directed by José Enrique Pintor.
In the Dominican Republic, Genaro works in a small family store and lives with his mother in a poor neighborhood. He is learning a few words in English and dreams of being a Sanky Panky to marry an American tourist to move to the USA with a VISA and have a better life. He calls his friend Giuseppe, who is a hotel manager in Bávaro, and applies for a job entertaining children but hoping to find a wealthy tourist. Genaro meets the beautiful Martha, who has come with her aunts Dorothy and Helen, to forget her fiancée after calling off her wedding. Genaro calls his best friends, Chelo and Carlitos, to go out with the aunts and experience it alone with Martha. Martha only speaks English and Genaro only knows a few words of English, but everything goes as planned until Martha's boyfriend arrives at the resort and complicates everything.
