La Quinceañera Directed by Adam Taub In Spanish. Option of English subtitles. 41 minutes
Many important events in Ana Maria’s life have been disappointing. Will her Quince Años (fifteenth birthday) be any different? Her mother and five siblings are determined that it will be: hoping and struggling to make her Quinceañera a special day, despite a lack of support from her father. Exploring issues of family, faith, and coming of age, “La Quinceañera” is a touching portrait of a Mexican family's love and devotion to each other. http://laquinceaneradocumentary.com/
