Quinceañera

Magdalena (Emily Rios) is the daughter of a Mexican-American family who runs a storefront church in Echo Park, Los Angeles. With her fifteenth-birthday approaching, all she can think about is her boyfriend, her Quinceañera dress, and the Hummer Limo she hopes will carry her on her special day. But a few months before the celebration, Magdalena falls pregnant. Forced out of her religious home, Magdalena moves in with great-great uncle Tomas (Chalo Gonzalez). Already living with him is Carlos (Jesse Garcia), Magdalenas cousin, a tough cholo who was thrown out by his parents. The back house rental where Tomas has lived happily for many years is on a property that was recently purchased by an affluent white gay couple (David W. Ross and Jason L. Wood). As Magdalena's pregnancy grows more visible, she, Carlos, and Tomas pull together as a family of outsiders. Together they must stand up to social stigmas and encroaching urban gentrification that threatens the neighborhood they know.
