This intimate character study about a mother's good intentions colliding with her daughter's identity sounds like a gem waiting to be discovered—a small, heartfelt drama that deserves your attention tonight if you're in the mood for something genuinely human and culturally specific.
Plot
Carnival in Barcelona. The Dominican troupe is the most popular at the most attended parade in the city, and for the first time this year, they are parading with a float. Ruth, the owner of a Latin hairdresser's, is sponsoring the float so that she can put her daughter Rihanna in it. Rihanna usually dresses like a tomboy and Ruth wants everyone to see her like a princess for once. But the tutu and tiara are a shaming too unbearable for the until then submissive Rihanna.
