Film Before the Rooster Crows (Antes que cante el gallo)

Saturday, October 7, 2023 noon to 2:30 p.m.

Carmín is a teenager who lives in Barranquitas, a mountainous village in the center of Puerto Rico, with her tough and conservative grandmother. Carmín dreams of moving to the city, San Juan, with her mother but she just got remarried and is leaving for the US without her. Then, the arrival of her father after long years in prison eases Carmín’s profound sadness. The relationship with him, however, brings its own ambiguousness and complexities. Now the girl must learn to live between abandonment and carefulness; amidst desire and love to experience the deepest absence.

Join us for a post-film discussion led by the director of the film, Arí Maniel Cruz. The discussion will be in person and via Zoom, with the director joining via Zoom.
