Latino Film Festival Opening Night
Friday, April 4, 2008
Interconnected stories center on a meadow, remembered by some as the
paradise of their childhood, and representing for others a chance to make
money by developing into a housing project. The film lets the viewer meet
and get to know the people in Cantabria (Northern Spain), their aspirations

this, in the midst of breath-taking scenery.
