Highway
99 becomes an emotionally charged memory lane for Alfaro when his father has a
stroke, compelling him to revisit the Central Valley of his childhood. As the
family gathers around the ailing patriarch, the artist, activist and MacArthur
Fellow (Electricidad, Oedipus el Rey) conjures up memories of his youth
(complete with an old-school slide show): from picking grapes to gospel-infused
tent revivals, family holidays to running away from home at 16.
St.
Jude is— in Alfaro’s words — “going from ‘what I am’ to ‘who I was.” And it’s a
remarkable journey rich with laughter, pathos and surprising revelations.
