Raising Victor Vargas

Screenwriter-director Peter Sollett (making his feature debut) crafts a delightful alternative to run-of-the-mill coming-of-age stories with this tender drama about a cocky but good-hearted teen (Victor Rasuk) looking for love on New York's Lower East Side under the watchful eye of his Old World grandmother (Altagracia Guzman). Judy Marte, Silvestre Rasuk, Krystal Rodriguez, Melonie Diaz.
