Elvira, te daría mi vida pero la estoy usando (Spanish for: Elvira, I would give you my life but I am using it) is a 2014 Mexican comedy-drama film produced by Cecilia Suárez and directed by Manolo Caro.[1] Starring Cecilia Suárez, Luis Gerardo Méndez and Vanessa Bauche.[2][3][4] It was one of fourteen films shortlisted by Mexico to be their submission for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film at the 88th Academy Awards,[5][6] but it lost out to 600 Miles.[7]
Elvira (Cecilia Suárez), a 40-year-old woman, is a stay-at-home mother with two children while her husband, Gustavo (Carlos Bardem), works at an insurance company to support the family. One night, Gustavo tells his wife that he is going for cigars and does not return.
Concerned about her husband, Elvira comes to seek him and files a missing person, because she believes that he suffered an accident. As time passes, she continues with her quest and begins to find reasons to suspect that her husband has escaped with his lover.
