TOCAYA

A lesbian AF summer wedding, a ‘ride or die’ pocha friendship, a Hollywood house guest. It is August in Chicago, the time of year when pochas crave paletas and the city is melting. Meet Gabi and Sonia, two Mexican American ‘carnalas de alma’ as they grapple with a wedding, toxicity, and taking leaps. What happens when women strike a match? Which are the vows that last?
