God Speaks Spanish

LOGLINE: After a sheltered young funeral home director in a small town discovers the John Doe on his table might be his long-lost father, he battles his grandmother, the family matriarch, and uncovers the lies she's built the family business on.

Overview: In a Latino-owned funeral home, a sheltered young funeral director spends what should be a routine night helping his grandmother prepare the body of a John Doe pulled from a highway bus crash. As the hours pass, buried family history starts to surface, secrets neither of them has ever said out loud. In this family, Spanish can be a weapon, a wound, a joke, or a prayer. GOD SPEAKS SPANISH is about what we inherit from the people who raised us, and what it costs to finally see them clearly.
