Lydia March 31, 2009

A 1970s Mexican immigrant family is mired in grief, rage and guilt over a daughter's debilitating accident on the eve of her quinceanera. When the undocumented Lydia arrives in El Paso from Mexico to work as a amid for the family, her nearly miraculous bond with the brain-damaged girl elates, then angers and finally threatens to destroy the troubled family -- and Lydia herself.
