The House of Broken Angels

Set against the backdrop of a grand birthday celebration, a family gathers to honor patriarch Miguel Angel de La Cruz, known as Big Angel, as he faces his final days.

Among the attendees is Little Angel, who grapples with his identity as a half gringo amidst the rich tapestry of family stories that celebrate resilience and the immigrant experience in San Diego. The narrative weaves together themes of family, identity, and legacy.
