AUGUST 18TH : UPPER RIO GRANDE TOUR OF HOMES!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
by Tony Meneses
directed by Sara Guerrero
Guadalupe has lost a daughter, Steve has lost a wife, and neither of them can find enough common ground to talk about it. Coupled with the fact that neither of them can speak the other’s language, they find a new way to connect: through an unlikely love of Telenovela–the wildly popular Latin American soap opera. How can such different people come together and take a step toward healing? Guadalupe offers a profound look into the complexities of language, grief, loneliness, love, laughter, and new beginnings.
