Event Details

Description

This funny, tender mother-daughter caper story stars 73-year-old Aurora, a broke, eccentric former beauty living in wealthy Marin County. When she learns her father’s widow has died, she heads to L.A., hoping for an inheritance. Meanwhile, her 43-year-old daughter Leyla, who is high-strung and spends her days pursuing perfection while attempting to keep up with the other Marin Uber moms, suspects her husband is cheating and secretly follows him to a cannabis conference—also in L.A. Their separate missions collide over one chaotic weekend, staying with quirky Sephardic cousins who speak in Ladino proverbs and cook endlessly. Amid laughter, mishaps, and old-country wisdom, Aurora and Leyla find transformation, connection, and a touch of healing.
