"Easter Sunday at the Juarez Floral Shop"
by Josie Nericcio
Directed by Roberta H. Martínez
​
Time: Present, Easter Sunday morning Place: a small town in South Texas
It’s Easter Sunday at the floral shop run by the Juarez sisters, Tencha and Anita. The shop is across the street from the city cemetery and sells only artificial flowers. Anita, the younger sister, is dying of cancer, but Tencha is holding out hope in the form of a curandera she has hired, without telling her sister. As Tencha waits for the curandera, Anita tries to prepare her sister for her death, something Tencha does not want to talk about, but the future is coming, no matter how hard Tencha tries to avoid it.
