Mendo's Carousel
"The film deals effectively with intergenerational failure, selfishness, forgiveness and change. It is equally moving and entertaining."
Mendo's Carousel
This last year was a struggle and Liza (Otmara Marrero) finds herself at a breaking point. She drinks
herself into an alcoholic fog and burgles a dry-cleaning business to “borrow” some cash,
but before she can escape the scene of the crime, she passes out. The next morning, Arthur (Edi Gathegi) finds her hungover in the back of his shop… again. He demands she leaves but Liza quickly realizes she’s misplaced her bag with the stolen money and begins a frantic search to cover up her secret. Little does she know that Arthur has some secrets of his own.
Mendo’s Carousel is a film about honesty with ourselves and others, the secrets that
keep us shamefully disconnected and the truths that bring us closer together.

"These characters are not your standard melodramatic figures, which is refreshing. The film captures the complexities of adulthood and honoring the family’s legacy by improving oneself."
