UNDER THE SAME MOON (LA MISMA LUNA) earned a
standing ovation at the 2007 Sundance Film
Festival for its poignant, emotionally rich
tale of a mother and son living on opposite
sides of the U.S.-Mexico border connected by
an enduring love. In her feature film debut,
director Patricia Riggen weaves their
parallel stories into a vividly textured
tapestry of yearning and devotion that
portrays a child’s courage and tenacity, and
a mother’s sacrifice.
Nine-year-old Carlos aka Carlitos (AdriánAlonso,
THE MASK OF ZORRO) is one of the countless
children left behind by parents who come to
the U.S. seeking a way to provide for their
families. His mother, Rosario (Kate del
Castillo, BORDERTOWN) has worked illegally
as a domestic in Los Angeles for four years,
sending money home to her son and mother to
give them a chance at a better life.
When the death of his grandmother leaves
young Carlitos alone, he takes his fate into
his own hands and heads north across the
border to find his mother. As he journeys
from his rural Mexican village to the L.A.
barrio, Carlitos faces seemingly
insurmountable obstacles with a steely
determination and unfettered optimism that
earn him the grudging respect and affection
of a reluctant protector, a middle-aged
migrant worker named Enrique (Eugenio Derbez,
PADRE NUESTRO). The unlikely pair finds its
way from Tucson to East L.A., but the only
clue Carlitos has to his mother’s
whereabouts is her description of the street
corner from which she has called him each
Sunday for the last four years. Unaware that
Rosario is only hours away from returning to
Mexico to be with her son, Carlitos and
Enrique desperately comb the vast unfamiliar
city for a place he has seen only in his
imagination.
UNDER THE SAME MOON (LA MISMA LUNA) also
stars Maya Zapata (THE THREE BURIALS OF
MELQUIADES ESTRADA), Carmen Salinas, María
Rojo and Mario Almada with America Ferrera
(Ugly Betty) and features a cameo appearance
by the legendary norteño band Los Tigres Del
Norte who also contribute to the film’s
soundtrack.
Written by Ligiah Villalobos (Ed), UNDER THE
SAME MOON (LA MISMA LUNA) is produced by
Patricia Riggen and Gerardo Barrera.
Executive producers are Norman Dreyfuss, Ram
Bergman and Ligiah Villalobos with music by
