Synopsis
The uplifting, soulful story of three mismatched brothers who are brought together to care for their charismatic 93-year-old grandmother, América.

Shot over a three-year period with an affectionate, watchful eye, it blows up an intimate family portrait onto a large, cinematic canvas. A warm and poignant portrait film about brotherhood and family ties.
