Experiencing Interruptions?

Tropical Disturbance

In 2017, Hurricane Irma looms over the Cuban capital of the U.S.: Hialeah, Florida.

Nereyda wants to prepare, but her senile husband, Jose, tends to wander off. There is more work to do than this family can handle in a story of domestic inequality between two Cuban exiles and their depressed veteran son. A triangle of unaddressed conflicts and unresolved history unravels in the suburbs of Hialeah, full of reckless motorists and an existential storm; Irma is coming. What will be left?
