Yuliet is a sixteen year old who lives in Havana. Her father, whom she has never seen, left Cuba when she was a baby and now lives in New Jersey.One year after her father left, her mother committed suicide, leaving Yuliet to be brought up by her grandmother into a life of prostitution on the streets.A fateful meeting with Fabiola Quiroz, a melancholy Mexican model, changes Yuliet's life.Marcovich weaves a fascinating story with a sweeping and totally innovative nonlinear style exploring the coincidences and parallels that brought these two women together.With verve and skill he lends his vision to their searches for unknown fathers and better futures.The result is a film bursting with music, ribald humor and emotional poignancy that mark "its young director as a brash, original filmmaking talent." - New York Times
