Separated

Cast: 7 (with 18 roles)

It is sometime around 2100, and a woman begins telling a story while celebrating her 90th birthday alone at the edge of the world. But it is also 2032, and 18-year-old Gladys learns she is from Guatemala and was separated from her guardian at the U.S.-Mexico border when she was five. Gladys embarks on a years-long journey to find her guardian, soliciting the help of her Spanish-speaking classmate Ruby. As she tackles government bureaucracy, chooses a family of her own, and eventually sets out on foot, the world shows itself in all of its absurd and mysterious colors, until she finally is forced to look for the knowledge within herself. Inspired by a true story and journalistic research.
