By José Rivera, directed by Gigi Guizado. In the dusty backyard of her
house in Barstow, California, Gabriela waits for her soldier husband
to return from war. Grappling with loneliness and desire, her vivid
imagination weaves together dreams, memories and fantasy while the
Moon plays the violin and sings to the cat and coyote. Rivera’s iconic
work of magical realism is a poetic masterpiece, inviting audiences into
a world where reality and fantasy blur, challenging our perceptions of
love, identity, and the pursuit of happiness in an unpredictable world.
