Overview
"The Big Guava is a feature length screenplay that tells the story of Gabriela, who travels back to her hometown in Tampa, Florida, to help plan her sister Sofia's fifteenth birthday party. While there, she must reconnect with her estranged mother, Danna, and face the harsh memories of their tumultuous past. As mother and daughter clash against opinions over the party, Gabriela struggles between leading a life of conformity versus risk and spontaneity. This family drama reminds us how our past is inextricably linked with our present, and trying to forget is more challenging than forgiving." -- Abstract
