Fringenyc: Girl in Argentine Landscape August 17, 2012

An autobiographical coming-of-age tale, 'Girl in Argentine Landscape' chronicles one girl's metamorphosis from "big dork" to "bad a**." Naomi, an overachiever and daughter of intellectuals, longs to experience life beyond straight A's and extracurricular excess. She leaves her native New Mexico on an Argentine adventure, where she discovers her big-haired and big-mouthed alter-ego, "Carmen Mercedes." Yet her new identity is threatened by her impending return. She faces a final challenge: leaving her geeky baggage back in Argentina and bringing Carmen Mercedes home in its place.
