La Serenata (The Serenade)
A Mexican-American boy learns about the tradition of serenading, and why demonstrating romantic affection proudly, publicly and through song is such a treasured Mexican custom. One day, the boy asks his parents if there is a song for a boy who loves a boy. The parents, initially surprised by the question and unsure of how to answer, must decide how to honor their son and reimagine a beloved tradition. Written by Ernesto Javier Martinez and directed by Adelina Anthony.
“Imagine if we had been children who could love freely, knowing that our love is just as valid as any non-queer love that exists.” —Adelina Anthony, director
