Maria Amparo Escandon

Con ingenio y humor, Maria Amparo Escandon sigue a la familia Alvarado mientras esta lucha con evacuaciones inminentes, secretos, enganos y traiciones, y con la decision mas dificil que deben tomar hasta el momento: permanecer unidos o quemarlo todo.

L.A. esta seco como un desierto, Oscar, el patriarca de la familia Alvarado, esta obsesionado con el clima y solo quiere un poco de lluvia. En realidad, alberga un secreto que lo distrae de todo lo demas. Su esposa, Keila, desesperada por tener una vida con un poco mas de intimidad y un poco menos de Weather Channel, siente que no tiene mas remedio que terminar su matrimonio. Sus tres hijas -Claudia, una chef televisiva de actitud insensible; Olivia, una arquitecta de exito que sufre la culpa de la gentrificacion; y Patricia, una maga de las redes sociales que tiene una extrana habilidad para conectarse con el publico, pero no con sus amantes- quedan sorprendidas ante la noticia y empiezan a cuestionar todo lo que saben. Cada uno tendra que mirar criticamente sus propias relaciones y tomar decisiones dificiles en el camino.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

With quick-wit and humor, Maria Amparo Escandon follows the Alvarado family as they wrestle with impending evacuations, secrets, deception, and betrayal, and their toughest decision yet: whether to stick together or burn it all down.

L.A. is parched, dry as a bone, and all Oscar, the weather-obsessed patriarch of the Alvarado family, desperately wants is a little rain. He’s harboring a costly secret that distracts him from everything else. His wife, Keila, desperate for a life with a little more intimacy and a little less Weather Channel, feels she has no choice but to end their marriage. Their three daughters -Claudia, a television chef with a hard-hearted attitude; Olivia, a successful architect who suffers from gentrification guilt; and Patricia, a social media wizard who has an uncanny knack for connecting with audiences but not with her lovers-are blindsided and left questioning everything they know. Each will have to take a critical look at her own relationships and make some tough decisions along the way.
