Victor Vargas lives in New York's Lower East Side, and is in the midst of that messy leap from boy to man. Stuck in the family flat with his eccentric relatives Victor finds himself having to deal with everything at once, including first love. Winner of a number of awards and inspired by Peter Sollett's critically acclaimed thirty minute short, "Five Feet High and Rising", Raising Victor Vargas is a delightful tale told with wit, charm and a refreshing lack of conceit.
