A graduate with honors from UoC Berkeley and an up-and-coming finance person in the Dot Com world of San Francisco, El sees a glorious life ahead. But when her boss/significant other dismisses outright her advice against taking the company public, he eliminates her position along with their relationship. Now at 32, El has no job, no home, no company car, and no significant other. As her world crashes around her, she learns of the death of her aunt, a radical anti-war protestor and feminist who attended Berkeley in the 60s. She was also El’s mentor and last remaining relative. El returns to her small hometown for the first time since her parent’s death 12 years before to settle the estate. While the sights are familiar, what she finds about her family is not. Each revelation is shocking but only leads to more questions and her search for answers to questions she’s struggling to define. This causes her to question not only the choices she’s made in life, but if love is reality or an only an illusion we trick ourselves into believing.
