Quinceañera is the 2006 film that won both the Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award at Sundance.
Directed by Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland, the film follows Magdalena, a pregnant teenager in Los Angeles who is expelled from her religious family home shortly before her quinceañera. She finds support with relatives while preparing for the celebration.
The film premiered at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival, where it received the U.S. Dramatic Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award. Its festival success brought wider attention to an independent drama centered on Mexican American family life.
The movie is sometimes confused with documentaries or television episodes about quinceañeras. Its title is simply Quinceañera, and it uses the celebration as a setting for questions about family, identity, religion, and community.
