Un año de revelaciones culmina con una actuación llena de sorpresas, mientras dos niñas descubren su lugar en el mundo. México es el país de sus padres, pero no el de Margie. Ella ha logrado convencer a sus compañeros de escuela que es cien por ciento estadounidense, igual que ellos. Pero cuando Lupe, su prima mexicana, va a vivir a su casa, la imagen de sí misma que había creado se deshace. La situación de Lupe no es fácil. Siente que su casa de México no es un hogar desde que el padre se fue al norte. La esperanza de poder encontrarlo en los Estados Unidos le da algo de consuelo, pero aprender un idioma nuevo en una escuela nueva representa un gran desafío. Al igual que Margie, Lupe necesita una amiga.


 

A year of revelations culminates in a performance full of surprises, as two girls discover their place in the world. Mexico is the country of his parents, but not Margie's. She has managed to convince her schoolmates that she is 100 percent American, just like them. But when Lupe, her Mexican cousin, comes to live in her house, the image of herself she had created falls apart. Lupe's situation is not easy. He feels that his home in Mexico is not a home since his father went north. The hope of being able to find him in the United States gives him some comfort, but learning a new language in a new school is a great challenge. Like Margie, Lupe needs a friend.
