By moving on and using new experiences as the light at the end of the tunnel, both navigate through a sea of new potential - or is it a maze of crazies? Colorful characters abound in what tastes like a slice of life with a side of nuts. What will become of our young lovers? Stay tuned. —Latino Film Festival in San Francisco
