Olga Dies Dreaming

It's 2017, and Olga and her brother, Pedro 'Prieto' Acevedo, are bold-faced names in their hometown of New York. Prieto is a popular congressman representing their gentrifying, Latinx neighborhood in Brooklyn, while Olga is the tony wedding planner for Manhattan's power brokers.

Despite their alluring public lives, behind closed doors things are far less rosy.

Sure, Olga can orchestrate the love stories of the one percent, but she can't seem to find her own . . .

until she meets Matteo, who forces her to confront the effects of long-held family secrets.

Twenty-seven years ago, their mother, Blanca, a Young Lord, abandoned her children to advance a militant political cause, leaving them to be raised by their grandmother. Now, with the winds of hurricane season, Blanca has come barreling back into their lives.

Set against the backdrop of New York City in the months surrounding the most devastating hurricane in Puerto Rico's history, Olga Dies Dreaming is a story that examines political corruption, familial strife and the very notion of the American dream - all while asking what it really means to weather a storm.

Este 2017, iar Olga si fratele ei, Pedro ,,Prieto" Acevedo, sunt nume indraznete in orasul lor natal, New York. Prieto este un congresman popular care reprezinta cartierul lor gentrificator, latinx din Brooklyn, in timp ce Olga este organizatoarea de nunti pentru agentii de putere din Manhattan. In ciuda vietilor lor publice atragatoare, in spatele usilor inchise lucrurile sunt mult mai putin roz. Sigur, Olga poate orchestra povestile de dragoste ale unul la suta, dar ea pare sa nu-si gaseasca propriul .
