Film Overview
Marisol is already having a rough day (or week. or year.) when a tutoring session with an important client is interrupted by a strange man accusing her of salacious goings-on with his wife. What begins as a confrontation of pride and jealousy takes a sharp turn when Marisol learns the real reason he has tracked her down, leading to an unexpected communion of loss, language, and Spanish homework.
