The Day of the Cicadas

A 32-year-old Latino couple, Luis and Isabel, navigate the crushing weight of poverty while trying to maintain love, dignity, and hope when Luis is diagnosed with stage two colon cancer. Their dreams, obligations to family, and social pressures collide with the reality of medical bills, eviction threats, and the emotional strain of illness. Through moments of humor, tenderness, and heartbreak, they confront what it means to live-and to love-when life feels like it's slipping away.
