The Tortilla Curtain

In Topanga Canyon, two couples from starkly different worlds find their lives intertwined following a freak accident. Delaney and Kyra Mossbacker, a pair of Los Angeles liberals living an orderly life in a gated community, cross paths with Candido and America Rincon, Mexican immigrants struggling to achieve the American Dream. As their realities collide, the story unfolds into a tragicomedy filled with error and misunderstanding, exploring the complexities of societal divides. Winner of the Prix Medicis Etranger, this tale is also adapted into a major motion picture.
