An amazingly intriguing piece of 3 different generations of Mexican/ American women in small town America driven by their search for love and honesty. The young director shows in depth the oddity and boredom that come with the life given to her 3 amazingly performed lead characters. The most wonderful casting of real people faces lets you be in their world and experience their love/pain, while underlining this with beautiful artistic images that seem like modern paintings at times. The choice of 35mm anamorphic also emphasizes the emptiness and overwhelmingly loneliness felt for this desert town. The 3 beautiful, funny and different story lines leave you with loaded emotional questions about love and following your heard. This is a must see independent movie!
