Where is home? Is it where we are born? Or where we live most of our lives? Is it with the family we leave behind or with the new ones we create?
To Cross the Face of the Moon / Cruzar la Cara de la Luna follows three generations of a single family, divided by countries and cultures. As a Mexican/American man deals with the approaching death of his father, he is forced to face these questions about his own place in the world - straddling two cultures - as well as that of his immigrant father and his American daughter. As long buried secrets are revealed, he finds himself dramatically re-evaluating his own understanding of what makes a family. Like the Monarch butterflies that migrate every year to the birthplace of his father, the members of the Velasquez family must travel both physically and spiritually between Michoacán and Texas and look deep into their hearts before they learn where they truly belong. —Leonard Foglia
Cruzar la Cara de la Luna / To Cross the Face of the Moon es la crónica de tres generaciones de una familia dividida por dos países diferentes y sus culturas. Mientras un mexicano-americano se enfrenta al inminente deceso de su padre, se ve forzado a enfrentar estas preguntas acerca de su propia existencia y el lugar que ocupa en el mundo – viviendo entre dos culturas – tanto la de su padre inmigrante, como la de su hija estadounidense. Al revelarse secretos que habían sido guardados durante mucho tiempo, se encuentra a sí mismo re-evaluando lo que significa para él el concepto de familia. Así como las mariposas Monarca migran anualmente a la tierra de sus padres, también los miembros de la familia Velásquez deben viajar física y espiritualmente entre Michoacán y Texas; de igual manera llevan a cabo una profunda introspección en su corazón para saber el lugar al que realmente pertenecen. – Leonard Foglia
