In what year was the film Quinceañera released?

The film Quinceañera was released in 2006.

The American drama follows Magdalena, a teenager in Los Angeles whose pregnancy disrupts her planned fifteenth-birthday celebration. After being expelled from her household, she lives with her cousin Carlos and their great-uncle Tomas, whose own circumstances also challenge the family’s expectations.

Quinceañera premiered at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival, where it received strong attention before its wider release. Its title refers to the Latin American coming-of-age celebration traditionally associated with a girl’s fifteenth birthday, although the movie focuses on the people and relationships surrounding the event rather than presenting a simple ceremonial guide.

The film was written and directed by Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland. It is sometimes confused with general documentary or instructional material about quinceañeras, but it is a fictional narrative feature with a specific family-centered plot.
