The Coconut Syndrome
The symbolic aspect of a pile of coconuts conjures a stream-of-thoughts for Deisy DeLa Cruz (Priscilla Garcia). The coconuts take her back in time to a term that has left a bad taste in her mouth and a sour note in her memories. The term reminds her that she is the kind of Latina who is culturally hollow and whose identity is broken. Knowing only a handful of Spanish words, she attempts to correct the problem and she winds back to past decades to crack open and heal what lies at the core of "The Coconut Syndrome".
