What is the English title of the 2006 film released simply as Quinceañera?

The English title of the 2006 film released simply as Quinceañera is Quinceañera.

The film uses the Spanish name of the celebration as its title because the event is central to the story and its cultural setting. It follows Magdalena, a Mexican American teenager in East Los Angeles whose planned celebration becomes entangled with family conflict and social pressures.

The title is sometimes confused with descriptions such as “fifteenth birthday,” but those are translations or explanations, not the film’s official English title. The Spanish word is widely used in English-language discussions of the tradition as well.

The film premiered in 2006 and received major recognition at the Sundance Film Festival. Its title should also be distinguished from unrelated videos, episodes, and events that use the word quinceañera descriptively.
