The film Quinceañera received its theatrical release in 2006.
The American drama was written and directed by Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland. It follows Magdalena, a teenager in Los Angeles whose planned quinceañera becomes complicated when her family learns that she is pregnant. The story also explores family relationships, religion, sexuality, and community life.
Quinceañera premiered at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival, where it attracted substantial attention before its broader release. The film was later distributed in the United States by Sony Pictures Classics.
The title can cause confusion because “quinceañera” is also the name of the cultural celebration depicted in the story. The film is therefore distinct from documentaries, television programs, and fictional episodes that use the same word as a title.
