"In the Heights" Review
Lin-Manuel Miranda's Tony-winning musical translates beautifully to the screen.

After the death of the head of the family, allegedly due to the end of his powers, his family leaves the state cottage. The last hours before departure - packing, chores, confusion... And in this force majeure situation, a stress situation, through the prism of attitudes towards the fact of departure, the very fact of the existence of the house, the relationships in the family itself manifest themselves and it turns out that the relatives do not know each other, that they have completely different values in life, that their closest friends evict them from the cottage, and that the most loyal there are those that we usually don't notice....

The age-old question remains….can we overcome? Or will we BE overcome?
The second film takes us on Peter's journey to be understood.
