As Magdalena’s 15th birthday approaches, her working class family prepares for her important and lavish coming-of-age party. But when her father discovers she’s pregnant, Magdalena is kicked out and must move in with the other black sheep of her family: her elderly uncle Tomas and gay cousin Carlos.
Some dally in childhood, and some have to grow up fast. Set in a Latino neighborhood of L.A., Quinceañera shows American independence alive and well: shot for less than $500,000, this wise character piece scored at Sundance, winning both the Grand Prize and the Audience Award.
