SYNOPSIS: |
|
June 1993. The company jet arrives in Los Angeles at
midnight. Raf's mother has not yet expired but he fears that
he may still not be in time to beat her Mayan god of death,
Charmer, to her bedside. The heavy June fog of Los Angels
slows his limousine to almost a walking pace. During his
agonizing trip to the hospital, he reflects on the history of
his family's second major crisis, in 1975, and its aftermath.
Alone then, he had faced the devastation of his father's grave
illness and the burdening life-altering family obligations
that went with it, the likes of which he had never expected
nor wanted. Presently arriving at the hospital, he is on time to bid his mother farewell. Lulled into a stupor while sitting vigil at her deathbed, Raf recalls a better place, a better time in his life, his childhood where and when his world, like an age-old, immovable redwood tree seemed to be anchored on hard, unshakable ground and could never be uprooted. |
