A mysterious traveler named Flor appears in a field of California wildflowers overlooking the land immortalized by Steinbeck’s ‘Grapes of Wrath’. As she walks, generations of migrants – from the Dust Bowl to the present day – appear beside her. Their worlds and their voices collide.
What happens when families from contemporary Mexico and 1930s Oklahoma speak, laugh, and work in the fields together? A story as unpredictable as a field of wildflowers, and as filled with color and life.
