His name is Moises, but his friends call him Moe. He’s having a going away party because he’s dying of AIDS. He’s a theater
artist working on a one man show. He invites his closest friends over for his “going away for good” party, but his plans go
awry when his best friend, who has given himself to the Lord, and his ex, who he hasn’t seen in 15 years, show up. All the
while his alter ego, a torch singing drag queen, wants to take him for “the ride of his life.”
First produced for the stage in 2002, Moe (then entitled Dementia) won the GLAAD Award for Outstanding Theater Production
in Los Angeles, and garnered four Ovation Award nominations.

SO MUCH TENDERNESS
DIR. LINA RODRÍGUEZ | CANADA | 118 MIN. | 2022
FRIDAY | JUNE 2 | 9:30PM | TCL CHINESE 6 THEATRES
So Much Tenderness follows Aurora (Noëlle Schönwald), a Colombian environmental lawyer who is forced to flee her native
country when her husband (Juan Pablo Cruz) is murdered. With the help of a young couple (Deragh Campbell and Kazik
Radwanski), she illegally crosses into Canada from the U.S. inside the trunk of a car, and is forced to start her life from
scratch as a refugee.
Six years later, she leads a seemingly normal life in Toronto with her tempestuous daughter Lucía (Natalia Aranguren),
until her estranged cousin Edgar (Francisco Zaldua), who was a suspect in her husband’s murder, resurfaces, threatening
everything she’s built.
