Take this exhilarating journey through the vibrant landscapes of identity and resilience in Curtains of Rain. In this compelling narrative, the lives of intergenerational Latinx queer and gender queer individuals from a postcard bordertown intertwine, leading them to a reunion amidst the cultural tapestry of San Antonio, TX.

At its heart is Solitaria Gaviota-Alaniz, a fearless protagonist on a quest to thrive and love fully. Fifteen years after fleeing her hometown following an exorcism, Solitaria returns to confront the ghosts of homophobia that haunt her past. Supported by her queer familia of her gay tios, non-binary best friend Toni, and a diverse community of panederas and drag queens in San Antonio, Solitaria makes a search and rescue mission for her lost self.

As Solitaria navigates the complexities of familial relationships and confronts environmental racism, Curtains of Rain celebrates the generous ingenuity of the queer survivor. With courage and determination, Solitaria transforms trauma into triumph, redefining tradition, and finding home once again in a world where love knows no bounds.
