SLEEPING WITH THE FISHES

SLEEPING WITH THE FISHES
Dir. Nicole Gomez Fisher (95min, USA, 2013)
Narrative 

A zany comedy with its fair share of "ay dios mio" and "oy vey" moments, Sleeping With Fishes
charts one woman’s journey of self-discovery in a Latino Jewish home in
Brooklyn. It’s safe to say Alexis Rodriguez Fish (Gina Rodriguez) has
seen better days. The recent death of her cheating husband has left her
both broke and broken-hearted. Trying to climb out of debt, Alexis has
been reduced to juggling humiliating odd end jobs including a walking
meatball hero. When she is forced to go back home by a distant aunt's
funeral, Alexis realizes her life might just get worse before it gets
any better.  

Once home, Alexis is confronted by her overbearing
mother (Priscilla Lopez) the string of questionable choices she’s made
since her husband's death. Suddenly re-immersed in her Latin and Jewish
roots, Alexis feels like a fish out of water, and matters don’t get any
easier when her sister signs Alexis up to coordinate a superhero-themed
Bat Mitzvah. A comic slice-of-life adventure, Sleeping With Fishes features an incredible Latino cast of established and rising talent.
