"Garden of Eden"
1994
Directed by Maria Novaro

Three stories intersect at the U.S./Mexican border as three people look for family members and a better way of life in Tijuana--a "way station" on the road to paradise. The film shares the stories of a mother and her children, an adventurous "gringa" looking for her brother, and a farm worker dreaming of a brighter future. A rich, dramatic movie from the director of Danzon. Spanish with English subtitles. 104 minutes.
