This sensitive coming-of-age drama, a 2006 Sundance Film Festival award winner, tells the story of Magdalena (Emily Rios),



who, on the brink of her 15th birthday, finds her comfortable existence shattered by the discovery that she's pregnant. Cast out by her parents, the once-privileged teen finds safe haven with a great-granduncle & a gay cousin (Jesse Garcia)



who introduce her to a world far different from her gentrified middle-class life.



Rated R 1 hour 30 minutes 2005

3 stars. Does not deserve an "R" rating, maybe PG-13. Interesting show with some views into Latino-American culture & life. Had to look up Quinceanera to find out more and we learned it's like a "Sweet Sixteen" coming of age party for girls when they turn 15. It's only in some Latin American countries.
