CUBAN AMERICAN GOTHIC is the comic and slightly surreal story of Maggie, who is living alone in New York City during the early 2020 pandemic. When her Cuban parents return from the dead to help, they remind her of their immigrant journey and that they have given her everything she needs to meet the moment.
Producer/Director: María Teresa Rodríguez
