Synopsis
La Gringa is the story of María Elena Garcia, a young woman traveling to Puerto Rico for the first time during the Christmas holidays. Though she has always felt deeply connected to the island, studying Puerto Rican culture in college and dreaming of her heritage, she quickly discovers the reality is more complicated. On the island, she is labeled an American, a “gringa,” leaving her caught between two worlds. If she is Puerto Rican in the United States but American in Puerto Rico, where does she belong? With the help of her uncle Manolo, María learns that identity is not defined by others, but is something she has carried within her all along.
