Gringas is about 7 first and second-generation Latina immigrants who have lost their ability to speak Spanish. In attempts to reconnect with their Latin-American roots, their mothers force them to attend a Spanish-only summer camp in Muskoka, Ontario. Within the confines of shared bunks, the teens confront their disappearing youth, through dreams, dance, and cigarettes, and tackle the intricacies of the looming shadow of their ‘gringa-ness’.
