With Alberto San Juan, Emma Suárez
“Combines quirkiness with poetry…themes of brotherhood, self-sacrifice, and the search for love.”—Jonathan Holland, Variety
Benito (San Juan), a shiftless waiter and wannabe jazz trumpeter, returns to his home town to discover his brother engaged to marry one of his ex-flings, a single mom who’s seen her share of hard times. Benito decides to save his brother from this fate, but unexpectedly finds himself up against a formidable foe in the fiancée’s precocious, rebellious daughter. In Spanish with English subtitles. 35mm.—description courtesy of Pragda
