Something Is About To Happen
A steamy encounter with a new neighbor who has gone missing leads the recently unemployed Lucia to take on work as a cab driver in hopes of finding the man that reawakened her latent sexuality. Using her new vocation as a means of radical connection and self-reinvention, she finds both erotic and intellectual stimulation from her clientele. However, the more Lucia freely gives of herself to strangers, the more it becomes clear that she might be the target of a nefarious plot with violent consequences.
Slyly fusing genres while subverting their expectations, Antonio Méndez Esparza’s SOMETHING IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN “transforms from eccentric dramedy into a gripping, metatextual thriller.” (Washington City Paper) Sexy, daring and ultimately liberating, Esparza pushes the mid-life crisis to its exuberant extreme.
