The main objective of the movie is to show how migrants suffer when they are going to another country and culture where they don't know anything about their believes, behaviors, language, etc. but they just want to have new and better life opportunities and live in better conditions far away of the conditions they had on their original country, the migrants never imagine how may work, suffery and sometimes humiliations in their "new home".
Paraiso Travel shows two colombians, a boy and a girl who leave their cities and go to New York for a better life conditions. They get lost and all the movie shows the guy looking for the girl; he passes the worst circumstances while he's looking for her, even he has to work as a cleaner, sleep on the streets, suffer of thirst and hunger and feel humiliation for his situation.
The movie has a really nice message: don't believe that is easy to leave your own country and get to another one and magically you'll have the life of your dreams. Think that is better to stay in a country where you know your language, behavior, people, etc and work really hard for being successful that to leave and pass the worst time in your life!!!
