Maria
About the Job
A loving, resilient, and deeply hardworking mother living in East Los Angeles. Devoted entirely to her 17-year-old son, Caramelo, she balances quiet maternal strength, faith, and affectionate teasing with an undercurrent of survival. She works at a local neighborhood grocery store and supports her son’s boxing ambitions wholeheartedly. Dramatic Requirements: Requires immense emotional depth and authenticity. The role transitions from warm, grounded comedic banter and intimacy in the opening car sequence to an intensely harrowing, emotionally devastating monologue delivered through tears over a landline phone from inside an ICE detention center. Language: Must be a fluent Spanish speaker (dialogue is primarily in Spanish, with conversational/accented English).
