SYNOPSIS:

Twins Zoe and Nick seem to have it all as they arrive at their glamorous 25th birthday party. But as the party winds down they can't avoid being back 15 years to their 10th birthday as their Mom wisks them away on a surprise birthday trip to Tijuana. Struggles with mental illness and addiction blur what is real and what is imagined as they relive that sweltering Tijuana afternoon from their childhood.

Although the film spans two distinct cities, Tijuana and Los Angeles, and two unique cultures, as the adventure unfolds the differences fade away and we see the connection between the events of that distant Tijuana afternoon and a mysterious present-day party in the Hollywood Hills.

"Happy Birthday or Felicidades" will take you to a magical, dangerous, and desperate place. It will raise awareness in the context of two unique cultures. It is a mesmerizing journey you will not soon forget.
