Plot

Ciudad Bendita is a story of love set in the heat of a popular market, a love story between two peddlers, two losers, two people of the heap, as anonymous as any. Bendita Sanchez has a detail that obscures her beauty: she has a limp. On a bus trip back to Caracas she meets Juan Lobo, an ugly man that dreams of becoming a musician and he instantly falls in love with her.

The problem is that Bendita happens to love another: Yunior Mercado, a metrosexual playboy. And although Juan Lobo composes various songs to win her favor, she just sees him as a friend.

Ciudad Bendita is a great tribute to unrequited love, but It is also the story of a country, a people, an entire community living on poverty, a handful of survivors who dream of learning the key to happiness in the muddy streets of a Latin American city.
