ESTILO AMERICANO

Estilo Americano tells the story of a Mexican-American family divided by politics. What is supposed to be a festive family gathering turns into an explosive showdown when siblings, with opposing political views, clash. Embroiled in the conflict, each family member reveals some painful truths. As everyone struggles with their own deeply ingrained beliefs, we wonder if the family can ever overcome their differences.
