Tearjerker movie alert: La Misma Luna (Under the Same Moon)



I love movies that make me cry (in a good way). I can already tell I'll be sobbing at this one. Even the trailer makes me sniffle. The clue? There is a coffin, and it has FRINGE!

Under the Same Moon (La Misma Luna) opens next month in theatres.

From Fox Searchlight:

"UNDER THE SAME MOON (LA MISMA LUNA) tells the parallel stories of nine-year-old Carlitos and his mother, Rosario. In the hopes of providing a better life for her son, Rosario works illegally in the U.S. while her mother cares for Carlitos back in Mexico. Unexpected circumstances drive both Rosario and Carlitos to embark on their own journeys in a desperate attempt to reunite. Along the way, mother and son face challenges and obstacles but never lose hope that they will one day be together again. Riggen's film is not only a heartwarming family story; she also offers subtle commentary on the much-debated issue of illegal immigration."
