Maria Full of Grace (2004)

A poor Mexican young woman quits her job at a flower factory and accepts to carry drugs in her stomach to the United States.

The first half is good. From then on, the plot veers gradually into absurdity (e.g. what's with the whole let's-give-our-money-to-someone-we-barely-know-so-she-can-give-someone-else-we-barely-knew-a-proper-funeral-even-though-we-are-in-deep-shit-and-could-use-the-money-ourselves thing?). All the performances are good.
