Based on the controversial, first award-winning Chicano novel by acclaimed author Rudolfo Anaya, BLESS ME, ULTIMA is a turbulent coming-of-age story about a young boy, Antonio (Luke Ganalon), growing up in New Mexico during World War II.  When a mysterious curandera (healer) named Ultima (Miriam Colon) comes to live with his family, she teaches him about the power of the spiritual world.  As their relationship grows, Antonio begins to question his strict upbringing by his parents (Dolores Heredia & Benito Martinez).  Through a series of mysterious and at times terrifying events, Antonio must grapple with questions about the nature of divinity and his own destiny.  Watch the trailer at www.blessmeultima.com
