Overview
Raquel is on the verge of turning 15 over the summer. All she wants for her birthday is a new phone and to celebrate with her friends, but her parents have other plans. They bring her to Mexico, where they celebrate a traditional fiesta de quinceañera with her family in a small village. The unhappy teen rebels and sneaks out to attend a party with her cousins. Through a series of twists and turns, Raquel comes to appreciate her time in Mexico and the traditional celebration with her family.
