The story follows a Mexican immigrated family‘s life in America. They are Carmen (Alejandra Walker) who is a single and religious mother, wants to test the “confused” sexuality of her teenager son, Bess (Ellen Clifford), a young girl who is discriminated for her unattractive appearance, and Andrea, the young son falls in love with a mid-age man, as they try to survive their loneliness and obsessions by going through different unusual experiences and relationships with their new neighbor Lucy, a prostitute. Influences like religion, environment and prejudices are, in occasions, very destructive to the social environment. DESIRE STREET is an independent feature film exploring the social and family issues with a melodramatic, but at times humoristic tone and with very bold/colorful characters and dynamic narration. The message that directors bring to the film, which is “respect for others”, independently of their sexuality, race or profession, is very relevant. Also the film highlights the importance of the family support, for any teenagers who are struggling for their sexuality and differences to the stereotype that the society creates.
