Dominique Cardona and
Laurie Colbert teamed up for Margarita, an award-winning
slice-of-life drama that will be making its way to DVD courtesy of Wolfe Video
on Oct. 29.
Ben (Patrick McKenna) and
Gail Lawson (Claire Lautier) are the picture-perfect, up-scale Canadian
family. Professionals — dentist, doctor
and liberal to the core. They smack of
smugness that would make even “limousine liberals” down here cringe. Snobs, but they are oh so perfect.
They’ve even have a nanny
for their daughter, Mali (Maya Ritter), an illegal Mexican alien by the name of
Margarita (Nicola Correia Damude), but the daughter is now a teen, so when
investments go south and their lifestyle begins to catch up with them (a
microcosm of the overall economy) she is tossed to under the bus.
The moment she is gone
the Lawson’s realize that she was actually a part of their family and have one
of those “come-to-Jesus” moments where they suddenly realize that everything
they took for granted was a facade of their own making. Can they redeem themselves and make things
right? That’s the question!
With film festival wins
at the Barcelona International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival, Créteil
International Women's Film Festival and the Toronto Inside Out Lesbian and Gay
Film and Video Festival, Wolfe Video has a indie hit on their hands here … and
with that Oct. 29 DVD debut date they have plenty of time to bang the
promotional drums.
