Quinceañera

(Emily Rios) is about to turn 15 and is revving up for her quinceañera. But things take a turn for the worse when she magically finds herself to be pregnant much to the chagrin of her pastor dad. She leaves home and moves in with her great uncle (Jesus Castanos) and gay cousin (Jesse Garcia). This unforeseen circumstance exposes her to chapters in life she otherwise would not have seen. A very simple coming of age tale that made me think again about the originality of Juno. But then again one should not comment on a film unseen.
