Inspired by Anton Chekhov's classic "The Cherry Orchard". Three women come home to claim their family's land in modern Mexico. A funny and moving story about family, class, and the choice between adapting to the changing world or being left behind.An explosive tale of humor and heartache in a changing Mexico. When the Galvan family returns home to Mexico after years in the U.S., they must come to terms with encroaching drug cartels, economic upheaval and a new class order. The deeply felt story of changing times and class divide is vividly portrayed using a mix of English, Spanish, Spanglish and Espanglés – but audiences will have no trouble understanding Saracho's funny and complex characters.
