SIMPLE MEXICAN PLEASURES
Mystical l Humorous l Poignant
By Eric Reyes Loo
Directed by Evren Odcikin
Heartbroken from a breakup, Eric does what many do – deny the pain and skip town. But he finds it’s hard to enjoy a pozole in peace when the spirits of your ancestors are squabbling in both ears. Through raucous conversation with his ghostly guides and a surreally hot hookup, Eric’s impulsive trip to Mexico City awakens his need for identity, familial ties, and a deeper connection to his roots.
