EPISODE 1

Zoey

With the help of her trans-madrinas (godmothers), 15-year-old Zoey prepares for her quinceañera--a celebration the older women were never able to have themselves.
EPISODE 2

Rosi

As an American growing up in Florida with a mother from Guatemala and a father from Cuba, Rosi combines all three of her cultures for a quinceañera celebration in Havana--an appropriate destination given the fact that her beloved grandfather cannot get a visa to the United States.
EPISODE 3

Ashley

While training for her amateur debut as a boxer in East Los Angeles, Ashley must navigate the pressures her family feels due to their immigration status: her mother is a Dreamer who came to the U.S. as a child and her father has been deported. As Ashley prepares for both her boxing match and her quinceañera, she worries her boxing coach may also face deportation and miss her special day.
EPISODE 4

Jackie & Nina

Best friends from San Antonio, Texas, Jackie and Nina's families have been in the United States for generations. They celebrate their Mexican heritage and a joint-quinceañera through the traditional Mexican rodeo, a horse-dancing display of escaramuza.
