Sleeping with the Fishes (2013)

As the curtain lifts on SLEEPING WITH THE FISHES, Alexis Rodriguez Fish (Gina Rodriguez), is grappling with the harsh realities of life. Her world, once brimming with love and laughter, is now a desolate landscape marked by the death of her adulterous husband, leaving her heart shattered and her pockets empty. Swallowed by an ocean of debt, Alexis clings to her dignity, working an assortment of degrading jobs from masquerading as a walking meatball hero to moonlighting as a phone sex operator. Alexis finds herself at a crossroads, yearning for a past life that has slipped away like sand through her fingers. An unexpected phone call from her eccentric, comic-book enthusiast elder sister, Kayla (Ana Ortiz), beckons her home for a distant aunt's funeral, casting a shadow on Alexis' already gloomy existence. With trepidation, she prepares to face her demanding family, particularly her mother (Priscilla Lopez), under the weight of her life's disarray. Once home, Alexis is plunged back into the vibrant tapestry of her Latin and Jewish heritage, leaving her feeling like a fish out of water. As familial tension mounts, Kayla attempts to steer Alexis back to her former glory as a party planner, offering her a job to orchestrate a superhero-themed Bat Mitzvah. Initially hesitant, Alexis is persuaded by her father's (Tibor Feldman) comforting words, and she reluctantly agrees, setting the stage for a budding romantic subplot with Dominic (Steven Strait). SLEEPING WITH THE FISHES presents a delightful panorama of life, featuring an extraordinary ensemble of Latino talent. As Alexis navigates the choppy waters of love, family, and self-discovery, the film showcases a heartwarming and humorously authentic narrative that resonates with viewers. It's a journey of self-discovery where Alexis learns to release the ghosts of her past and bravely paint the canvas of her future.
