Mi Vida Loca (English: My Crazy Life) is a 1993 American drama film written and directed by Allison Anders, about a group of young Mexican-American women living in Echo Park, Los Angeles and facing the struggles of friendship, romantic entanglements, motherhood, and gang violence.
The characters are known by their gang names. Sad Girl (Angel Aviles) explains that she got hers because the name was available when she joined the gang, and we realize these names are handed down from one generation to the next, as a form of honor. Not much is made of the implication that the turnover in names can also be read as a death rate.
But when Sad Girl becomes pregnant by Mousie's boyfriend, a drug dealer named Ernesto, the two become bitter enemies. While their dispute escalates towards violence, the violence of the world around them soon also impacts their lives.
