A day in the life of LAKE TAHOE'S main character Juan is anything but normal. After crashing the family car into a post, he must find someone who can help him fix it. Throughout the day he's led on a journey that he never expected. He meets many different people who seem to have something in common: they all want something from him. His first encounter is with an older man who asks Juan to walk his uncontrollable dog. The second is with a young girl who wants Juan to watch her infant son so she can go see a band. The last is with a young man who is obsessed with martial arts and just wants Juan to be his friend. Juan eventually gives in to each request as a way of dealing with the loneliness he feels from his father's recent death. That event also left his mother to become unable to function as a parent, leaving Juan to care for his younger brother. LAKE TAHOE is a charming feature full of laughs and emotion when you least expect it. (In Spanish with English subtitles) – L.W.
