Tropico is a 2013 musical short film directed by Anthony Mandler, based on the Biblical story of sin and redemption. Split into three chapters, the film was written by Lana Del Rey, who also starred alongside Shaun Ross. Del Rey plays a dual role, portraying the biblical figure of Eve, as well as Mary, the mother of Jesus, while Ross stars as Adam. The film is set to three songs from Del Rey's 2012 extended play (EP) Paradise.
Tropico opened to critical acclaim at its December 4, 2013 premiere at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood, California. The film was then released digitally on Del Rey's Vevo page the following day. It was also included in the track listing of the film's soundtrack EP, released exclusively to the iTunes Store.
