Barrera hopes 'Carmen' film shows human side at the border

Before taking on a new role, Melissa Barrera asks herself,"What is the message that I'm trying to send out into the world with this?"

Barrera says that building chemistry with Mescal was easy, since they spent hours in dance rehearsals together. Carmen falls for Aidan , a Marine with PTSD who is working as a volunteer border patrol guard. - Courtesy of Sony Pictures Classics When Barrera first heard of the project, she did not know what the story was about."I just saw Benjamin Millepied is making his feature debut, and it's going to be an adaptation of 'Carmen.' That's all I got," said the actor.

Millepied's"Carmen" is a surrealist fever dream with avant-garde symbolism woven throughout. Each song and each dance sequence features Barrera, Mescal or De Palma.
