COMING SOON
Synopsis
It's the storms that bring us together.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Maria in 2017, JUAN, the terminally ill Camacho family patriarch, opts to end his life, sparing his family from caring for him in the wake of a national crisis.
Two years later, GLORI, an artist from Brooklyn, is called back to Puerto Rico when ANGELA, the Camacho family matriarch, forgoes dialysis treatments to let nature run its course. Glori and her daughter, ODIE, are the family’s last hope for convincing Angela to continue her treatments.
ESPERANZA, the big sister and caretaker with her daughter ISSA, resents that everyone believes Glori can save the day. While TITO, the oldest brother, remains estranged from the family.
When they fail to change Angela’s mind, she convinces Glori, Odie & Issa to take her on a round-the-Island, “bucket-list” road trip. The girls soon discover Angela’s long-held secrets during the journey.
This family drama unfolds against the backdrop of Puerto Rico’s 2019 government protests and is an homage to the people & places that come to my mind for anyone who loves “The Island”.
