CGiii Comment
My Mom and the Girl is a true story based on an odd encounter that an East Coast woman, Valerie Harper, has one night on the streets of East L.A. The former singer now suffering from Alzheimer’s, escapes after a dinner party through the capricious streets of East Los Angeles to find her way home. With her watchful caregiver, Liz Torres, in tow, their brief but colorful sojourn leads to an encounter with The Girl, Harmony Santana, a character with an unexpected narrative. The chance meeting proves to have a profoundly positive effect on three very disparate, desperate, women when the young transgender’s despair disenfranchises the tight grip Alzheimer’s has on the woman making way for her fearless and sardonic humor to reappear and turn their urban adventure into a funny, poignant, and surprisingly rich story.
