Vidiots is thrilled to welcome director Patricia Cardoso for a special screening of her essential East LA coming-of-age triumph Real Women Have Curves.
A humorous and warmhearted look at a Chicano teenage girl coming of age in a boiling cauldron of cultural expectations, class constrictions, family duty, and her own personal aspirations. In Boyle Heights, an 18-year-old struggles between her ambitions of going to college and the desires of her domineering mother for her to get married, have children, and oversee the small, rundown family-owned textile factory. Winner of several Sundance Prizes, The Humanitas Award, and Independent Spirit Awards, this slice of relatable life is an influential and powerful classic of Latina and independent cinema.
