Nina is a fifteen-year-old Hispanic girl who is nine days away from her quinceañera. She talks to her friend about how excited she is about the event and her first dance with her father. But everything is gest turned upside down when she gets word that her father has been arrested by ICE agents and is in the process of being deported. She rushes home to her mother and siblings. This situation makes no sense, he is a good man who has only done good things since his arrival into America. Was he there illegally? Yes, but he had made himself and his family positive members of society and his reason for bringing them there was a noble one, to get his two eldest children the health care they needed to fight a difficult disease. Nina experiences an emotional roller coaster as her mother attempts to comfort her and they all try to understand how they will be able to move forward, but Nina announces her quinceañera is off if he cannot be there for their first dance. This is a truly beautiful coming of age story about the strong connection a young girl has with her father. *Character will speak Spanish throughout the performance.
