In the Costa Chica region of Mexico, two generations of Afro-Mexican women do their best to make ends meet.  Dalia faces pressure to sell her family’s land, Luisa loses her spot to sell food, and Yolanda tries to keep the restaurant Lia Del Mar afloat.  As Luisa’s and Yolanda’s daughters navigate new ways to make money, the older generation must find a way to reconcile a longstanding feud in order to provide for their futures.  Lia Del Mar is a poignant exploration of familial love amid economic upheavals.
