ALTAR
Eugenio, a newcomer to St. John’s from Mexico, experiences deep love and heartbreak when his boyfriend inexplicably “ghosts” him. Looking to the holiday Día de Muertos and his father’s previous paranormal experiences, Eugenio builds an altar, hoping to summon his boyfriend’s “ghost” to sort out the end of their relationship once and for all. Will setting up an altar be enough for Eugenio to forgive, forget, and love again?
