Bitter Homes and Gardens

By Luis Alfaro

Tragicomedy about a Hispanic American family that lives in suburbia: their stories and memories. "A harrowing social satire charting the quest of a Latina mother and daughter to locate the American Dream in suburban Los Angeles, only to discover that the road is paved with crater-sized bumps--both from her own cultural heritage and from the specter of urban blight. There are no white picket fences surrounding this household." - backstage.com
